yeah, i dont think that nailing individual online players is the fbi's biggest priority right now. if it is, then that might just give me another reason to move to canada. pay your taxes, and everything will be fine.

i also live in mass, and i am just curious,. but do you know exactly what types of gambling are prohibited? can you have a home game with no rake? not that the feds are going to bust up any of my games, but i would be interested in knowing.

Hey, I'll tell you what, if you move to Canada, I promise you won't have to pay taxes on your gambling winnings. Isn't that reason enough to move up here.

Oh, and you also should know that if I were ever to win one of those massive powerball lotteries (I think Canadians are allowed to win them), I would get exactly what the prize amount is, not some 60% that the winners usually take home. Anytime a Canadian goes to Vegas or anywhere else in the U.S., we can apply for and receive any taxes that were taken from that prize from your government. Gotta love those international laws .

Heck, I just thought of an idea, if anyone on this board wins powerball, find out if Canadians are allowed to win it. If we are, could have a nice extra sum of cash waiting for you at the very modest price of $20M US.

There is a long line to get in though, after the post-election rush to Canada

haha thats hilarious while being an awesome plan. But even if an American recieved a "gift" of the rest of the winnings, they would still have to pay taxes, no? Unless of course that 100M was under the table...

Tell ya what, I'll smuggle the money across the border to you free of charge in $1 million increments, a few times a week. I'll buy a house in Niagara Falls and drop it off to you at any desired location .

What scared me the most is not that somehow the cops would come knocking on my door, but the possibility of it being harder and harder to fund accounts.

"3. Several large banks, including Citibank and Bank of America, may end EFTs to and from "gambling" sites, including poker, citing among other things money-laundering concerns and the Patriot Act."

It's still a maybe, but that would cripple IGM-Pay, which would really suck. I wonder how NetTeller would be classified.
