    FIRST THEY ARE ILLEGAL IN THE USA.

    SECOND IF YOU DO USE THEM, THEY ARE CASH ADVANCES (MOST CARDS, NOT ALL)

    IF YOU LOSE $275,000 YOU CAN CLAIM THAT THEY ARE ILLEGAL (AND NOT PAY).

    From an article on this subject:


    While no federal law exists specifically prohibiting Internet gaming, law enforcement officials have successfully taken the position that Net gambling is illegal in the U.S. under the 1961 Interstate Wire Act, which prohibits wagers sent by wire.

    Last year, a federal court sentenced Jay Cohen, co-owner of Antigua-based World Sports Exchange, to 21 months in prison followed by two years of supervised release, in addition to a $5,000 fine, for Internet-based gambling offenses.

    When did online casinos become illegal in the usa?They just had a piece on tv about how many people in america are gambling online.They said they are trying to pass new laws that would make casino gambling online illegal but so far no such laws exist.
