legality of online poker in canada/usa

oink

What the fuck why would you include Canada

and when I tried to declare my online winnings at H&R this past tax year, they simply said poker is a game of chance and cant be declared
nothing about dirty money you 25nl gangster

go play poker. don't worry about issues that will never concern you. When u make a living playing online, repost.

halliburton is dirty money

poker is about as clean as it gets this day in age.

oink

It's illegal in Washington State, everywhere else I think it's pretty legal. They found loop holes through the UIGEA if i'm not mistaken, so poker in the U.S. isn't illegal.

So what exactly did H&R file you under for you tax report? Unemployed?

illegal in washington state wtf? I'm about to move there and am planning to continue playing. If its not enforced I say screw the govt I'm playing anyway

id really doubt in a state where internet poker is banned that its enforced like ever lol but i may be wrong ;p

anyway, a bigger question is if you can't pay taxes(can you?) on poker earnings then its basically dirty money, right? and somewhat illegally obtained money, and could cause problems?

i dont follow this at all? just because u dont pay a cut to the government you think its dirty money? how is it illegal? lol...

its fortunate that u dont have to pay a cut to the government and if u want to pay taxes on it im sure u can just give them a % that cleans your money

forget the whole god damn thing okay

Care to elaborate ?

good to know canadians dont have to pay taxes on poker monies

I live in the state of washington and play online poker, this year I filed my taxes as normal and don't expect to get in any trouble. I 99% doubt I will get arrested for it, and if I did it would probably be a news story cause I am like a normal 21 year old student in college.

lol gogogo canada
ive heard it is a cool place to live

Although I don't think we have to pay taxes here in Mexico, I'm pretty sure they don't even care about online poker cause less than 10 out of 100 inhabitants in Mexico have Internet, and less than 3 out of 100 have high speed internet according to this source (spanish: http://alt1040.com/2007/07/mexico-tie...cion-de-internet-mas-bajos-del-mundo/ )

so less than 10% of people with internet and I bet the % of people that play or win money the way we do is ridiculously small 0.001% I dont know... I doubt our shitty government would care making a law against us just to fuck 1 out of 100,000-1,000,000 people that play poker or casinos

I'm afraid to go to Mexico if it's anything like when they swarm my truck in the morning when I'm getting gas.

woot. We pay up to 60% tax. o/
