I live in Michigan and play at the casino a lot. I live kind of far though and was wondering if it is illegal for me to play online..

I read that if you win any money online it is an automatic misdemeanor and if you win over $50 it's a felony! Seems kind of harsh. I was wondering if this is true and if there are any options at all for me. I don't want to play for play money… Even a subscription poker site would be nice. I tried to sign up for Club WPT and it won't let me participate in any of the games with actual prices :(

are there any options for me at all? Thanks!

It's not illegal , though some think it is...Alot has to do with banking institutions,,and money distribution,etc! It's gray area...You have some sites..who followed the rules,who allow access in most states..Then some..like wsop..who have to go according to individual state laws..Play where you can...I wouldn't go telling The higher ups...:)

Bovada, Americas Cardroom are my preferred ones due to quick payouts....whatever you do DO NOT DEPOSIT ON LOCK POKER

What about bet online? Also is it ok to report your earning on your taxes?
