WOW. The late fees and interest must be astronomical. To rack up $400k in fees/interest in just 1 year is ridiculous...

The government wants it all and there's nothing we can do to stop them.. We have people that work for the government that actually play online. We live in a crooked world. Especially the united states. I'm from Illinois and this state is most def the most crooked state there is!!!! Jail time for someone who does nothing wrong I kind of agree that we should pay taxes on our wins. In the casino slots winning are taxed for 1 single pull of $1199 or more. we can win 600 600 700 900 and never have 2 pay a dime in taxes with slot machines.. if i'm wrong somebody please correct me. blackjack we only pay taxes if we win 300x our bet? Which is impossible! This is what I have been told. They should just legalize and regulate poker world wide. We wouldn't be having these issues!!
