anyways, i have a credit and a debit card…(btw, i am not going to use the credit card unless for some reason they dont accept the debit card) do i just give the pokersite my card info and i make a deposit and start playing?
and if i win money, how do i “get” it? does it automatically transfer into bank account or what?
yes i am of legal age. yes i am responsible. no i am not addicted to gambling. poker is a game of skill, and playing with play money will only get you so far. the next step is to play with (small amounts of ) real money, with people who actually strive to be skilled at poker.

it’s legal, you cannot get into trouble, and you usually get paid by check. you can try to do “echeck” into your checking account, but there have been issues with that as of late
hope that helps

You can gamble online, there is nothing illegal. You can deposit with debit cards from USA cause they are blocked. The best method to deposit is prepaid all access visa gift card. It doesnt have gambling filter, you can buy it from stores in USA. You can withdraw with check. The checks doesnt state they are from gambling sites.
If you win money they will be in your betting account until you decide to withdraw. The best USA welcome site is Bookmaker, you can find more info here

Online gambling is technically illegal in the US under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), although thousands of Americans still gamble online each year. However the authorities have recently cracked down on poker sites offering gambling to Americans, freezing the US bank accounts of sites such as Full Tilt and PokerStars (http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/industry/167542/us-authorities-freeze-us-poker-sites-assets-stars-and-tilt-included.thtml), although those sites refunded players from different accounts (they want to keep you loyal!).
There are currently several attempts to change the law. Congressman Barney Frank is leading a bill to overthrow UIGEA (http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/industry/features/149937/us-online-gambling-bill-gets-mixed-reaction.thtml), while a lobby group called iMEGA is also challenging UIGEA in court (http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/industry/168417/uigea-on-trial-imega-to-take-on-us-egaming-ban-in-pa-court-next-month.thtml).
At state level, California may soon legalise online poker within the state to try and use the tax revenue to fix its budget crisis (http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/industry/168582/internet-poker-in-california-gets-boost-as-state-rejects-budget-cuts.thtml), and Florida has just passed a bill to study the impact of legalising online poker (http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/industry/168347/online-poker-research-bill-cleared-by-florida-governor.thtml). And if California and Florida do it, other states are likely to follow (it’s easy tax money!).
Regarding actually playing and paying, just choose one of the big sites (Bodog, FullTilt, Cake, Pokerstars, among others) and go ahead – they make so much money from online poker that they really aren’t interested in ripping off your credit card or pocketing your winnings.
Good luck!

There’s no federal law that makes online gambling illegal. The laws for online gambling are vague for a reason…it’s to make you THINK you can’t do it! Your card may or may not work, depending on the site and the card. Most cards have filters that decline gambling site transactions. There are other ways around this, like echecks, bank transfers, etc. If you need to cashout, you can either take paper checks or bank transfers…it mostly depends on how you deposit. The checks have no indication they are from gambling sites, either.
You can find a list of common deposit methods, US friendly sites, and other online gambling tips at and Check out the site in order to make an informed decision when considering an online gambling site! Hope this helps.

More than likely both of your cards will be declined. The two best options you have are Echecks or an All Access Visa card. With Echecks you simply enter your routing, account number and the amount you would like to deposit under the Echecks option. With the All Access Visa you will have to go to where you can either buy it there or find a retailer near you who carries it and once you have it you just deposit with it like any other credit card under the Visa deposit option. Your withdrawal options will depend on your deposit method. If you use Echecks you can withdrawal your funds back into your bank account once you reach your desired amount to withdrawal but if you use the All Access Visa you will have to withdrawal by check. I hope this helps and if you need any more info. including more US deposit options, full reviews of the leading poker rooms and passwords to private freeroll and buy in tournaments be sure to check out my site below.

It isn’t illegal to play online poker in Michigan. The recent laws against online poker are related to the banks funding your account, not you actually playing. It is 100% legal for you to play but when/if the laws go into full effect the bank that made the transfer for you could get in trouble. This makes it very difficult to deposit using your credit or debit card, but some still work. The best way is to use Echecks which is basically going to be the same as using your debit card, because its just writing a check electronically. If that doesn’t work, you can go to the gas station and try buying the all access gift cards, they always work.
I would highly recommend playing on one of the major sites. Of these sites, I think Full Tilt is by far the best one. Amazing software, easy games to beat, and tons of tournaments. They also offer the best sign up bonus online, a 100% first deposit bonus (up to $600). To get this bonus, download the software, create an account, and use the referral code SIGNUPMONEY and make your first deposit within 60 days.

There is an anti-online gambling law in the state of Michigan. There is no federal law that specifically addresses online gambling in the perspective of the player. While it is technically illegal to gamble online in Michigan, I have done it for almost 10 years with no problems. It is also illegal to jaywalk, but people do it in front of police cars with no repercussions. I suggest you check out the independent reviews of Michigan friendly online gaming sites at You will find lots of information to help you to get the most out of your experience and give you a better chance of winning! Good luck
