hey
I believe because the sites are all located over seas, I dont think they can do anything about it in the states because of that. Im not sure but I believe because they are located overseas he is concidered gambling there not in the states. |

18 to gamble on the sites no matter what "state" or "country" you're in
taxes on the winnings dont mean anything...you dont have to claim them.. it's not like the gambling sites report their earnings to the IRS. geoff is wrong |

Don't listen to JunYUN. He's just being his usual angry self, but he's wrong.
In the U.S., virtually all income is taxable, no matter how it's earned. We do indeed have a spot on our tax forms to report Gambling winnings, so it is supposed to be reported. If people chose not to report any or all of their income, that is their own choice, but they are breaking the law, and it is a REALLY big deal if it ever catches up to them... |

Actually, I think you're all variations of right and wrong.
First, you DO have to pay taxes on poker (gambling) winnings in the U.S. No, the poker sites aren't reporting your winnings, but YOU are supposed to. If you ever got audited and the IRS asked you where all those deposits to your bank account were coming from, they would nab you. As for how old you need to be to play online poker, that's up to both the gambling site AND your local jurisdiction. In the states, online poker is a big gray area, but don't think that just because these companies are offshore means no laws apply to you. Just because some web site selling kiddie p0rn is located offshore doesn't mean it's legal for you to download it, for example. And you can't go hiring assassins legally, just because their company happens to be located outside the U.S. |
