I’m confused on these “online” professionals. The U.S. outlawed internet gambling and credit cards are outlawed from being used on gambling. What gives?

There is a loophole...if you go buy one of those
“Visa giftcards”...at a Walmart, RiteAid etc....they will accept them...

That was part of my Christmas gift last year lol.

So you can play.

There are sites that allow US players the .com versions of the ones you see on advertisements. There are transfer options that by pass VISA/Mastercard mainly direct drafts on an account. I am not sure how legal these are but US players do have options no thanks to GOP nanny staters like Leach and Frist. This is the one issue I support Barney Frank on.

I don’t think the law specifically restricts playing, just restricts payment companies and poker sites from accepting funds from US players.
