It is not illegal to play online poker in the US. The only laws passed target banks for financial transfers, not the act of playing. You do have to pay taxes though, there is a specific line for your winnings and then one for your losses. For people looking to play online check out http://www.ultimatepokerbankroll.com they have US flags next to any sites that allow Americans and reviews for the bonuses the sites give out, plus lists of sites offering free money.

Answer #8

I believe that any winnings over $500 are supposed to be reported on your taxes. However, as long as you aren’t banking like $10,000 a month from this site, then you aren’t going to draw too much attention to yourself.

Answer #9

Well, online poker isn’t really illegal except in the US, where you can’t use your credit card at an online poker website. because of American tax laws that prohibit it.
