Just 2 clarify, on-line gambling is NOT illegal in the USA. What IS illegal is 4 US banks 2 permit deposits 2 on-line casinos. In speaking 2 the manager of my bank, he explained 2 me that while I am not permitted 2 use my bank account debit/ credit card 2 make deposits 2 on-line casinos, I CAN purchase credit card GIFT CARDS offered @ my bank, or @ local stores ( MasterCard/ Visa/AmX, etc) 2 do my on-line gambling. I typically purchase the Visa gift card @ my bank, as they do not charge an activation fee; I've had MANY winnings from my existing Microgaming account & have gotten my winnings (significant winnings, I might add  ) sent 2 me via check. My bank has cashed these checks w/ no questions asked.

There is great to know tinman! I wonder if that applies to restricted states too. Always knew that i couldn't deposit via my bank and always used third party method to deposit into my bank account.

One September 30, 2006, the U.S. Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. This surprised everyone in the online gambling industry. Since the signing of the act into law seems a give, many players are confused as to the status of USA online gambling, existing accounts they may have with sites that offer USA online gambling, and where they are able to play. The important thing to understand about this new legislations is that it does not make online gambling in the USA illegal. The act is aimed at blocking financial transactions related to gambling. USA online gambling operators including sportsbooks, online casino and online poker rooms are taking very different actions. Some have completely stopped taking bets, some are restricting certain states, and for others it is business as usual. This section of our site is designed to keep you informed of the latest developments, where you can play, and any information we are able to uncover. ok well now this makes more sence

No need to fill it. After activating in your e-mail, it goes in itself.
