This is a hot subject these days and Yes, playing online poker is legal ALMOST everywhere. In USA some areas prohibits online gambling and with it to play poker online. In Europe there's a handful countries with the same Internet gambling law that prohibits playing poker online. However, there are still online poker rooms accepting US residents to play online poker.
With that being said, for a player (from an area with law against online gambling) to be prosecuted and convicted for having played online poker is hardly something that will happen. Until today there hasn't been anyone brought to trial for playing online poker but if it's illegal to gamble online in your area you are still technically breaking the law.
Since we cannot give a straight answer yet we suggest you check if online gambling and online poker is legal in your area or country. |
