Advice on Pulling money out

maityTNT · Jan 13, 2009

What is your advice on pulling money out of the online poker sites without having to face legal implications in the US?

massimo · Jan 13, 2009

To my knowledge there are no legal implications in the US for pulling money out of online poker sites. Even the UIGEA bill does not outlaw withdrawing money, from what I can remember when I read up on it (I think it was on page 18 or 19 of the bill). Maybe there are implications in certain states. But even in those states where it is illegal to play, I don't believe it is illegal to withdraw, just illegal to deposit and play.

my friend gets a check sent to him and hasnt had a problem.

I've cashed out recently on Stars and Absolute. No problem, check comes in a week or so. It's only labled with the bank's name. One time the cashier asked me where i got the check. I told her it's a paycheck from my online job.

Well, I do know that you don't want to deposit more than $10,000 to any US bank. If you do that, the bank will want you to fill out tax forms.

I would have told her so stuff it. They cant ask you where your money comes from. Well maybe they can ask, but you dont have to answer. Now if the IRS asks then you have to.
I like your answer thou, how does she know you dont write code for the website or something.

Quick follow up on this.
Say all of your winnings are from freerolls, is that considered gambleing? I mean gambleing is when you risk your money trying to win other money. If it is free to enter, then it would be a contest not gambleing right?

I know you would still have to pay tax on it, but seems like it would not be covered in the UIGEA bill. (I tried reading thru the bill, but got lost early on and did not find an answer)

There no legal implications .However I play on Stars and used the E-check withdraw.It takes about three bussiness days.However I 'm with the largest bank in the US which may be why I get it so quick.
