Well as far as poker goes there seems to be some states that ban it, for instance in the state of WA. it is a felony to play
online poker, but here in CA it is legal, so check you local state laws just to be sure, as far as winning the big one, I would not sweat that, the only thing you really have to worry about if you do hit the big one, is make sure you pay your taxes. I cannot recall one person yet that has been taken to court over playing
poker online, personally I think they are scaring people cause they do not want this to go to the higher courts, I think the courts would rule in our favor. It would be nice though if they did arrest someone and they put up a good fight, cause this whole online gambling thing is very hypocritical, you can gamble on horses and lotto and keno and god knows how many other state run games you can play, yet no online poker.
