I owe around $1000 to an online poker site based offshore (will remain nameless, but one of the big ones like Absolute Poker, PartyPoker, PokerStars, Pacific Poker, etc.) I have owed this debt for many months, with no correspondence from the company asking about when I will pay it (after the initial e-mails stating how much I owed). Now I am reading about the possibility of these offshore companies soon not being allowed to accept bets in the United States.

The company did state in an e-mail to me after I inquired that they could employ a collections agency and report the debt to credit bureaus…which would suck. But the thing is…I’ve owed this debt for so long and they haven’t done anything…so I don’t know whether they’d actually do this.

Of course the moral thing would absolutely to pay. But I’d also like to save the $1000 if I were to pay it and a few weeks later the company was banned from doing business in the U.S. and thus unable to collect from me.

Any thoughts?
I used the site’s ACH/EFT system, where it takes a few days to actually deduct from your bank account. Went overboard one day and made deposits I thought I could win back.

So they didn’t give me credit per se…I just did the equivalent of writing checks for money I didn’t have.

Yes, this was stupid. Yes, I know it was wrong. Yes, I realize there was a serious problem. But let’s not turn that into the issue. I haven’t played poker in over a year and the thought of it actually repulses me now.

On that note…I should clarify that it has been much longer than the supposed 100 days before notifying credit bureaus. These transactions occurred about 17 months ago.

Hope this clarifies things. And thanks for the responses so far…keep em comin

How much money does a casino make in a day?
lets say the horseshoe casino or about that size, how much would they make in a 24 hour period?
No, im thinking about buying one and wanted to know how long it would take to remake the money. Well the horseshoe sold for 30 million not to long ago so i was wondering if i could get something that size.

It seems the companies that run these can get away with anything. Bottom line is the Government collects huge revenue in taxes from these companies so they turn the proverbial blind eye. Yes, people have a responsibility for their own actions but they also deserve not to be defrauded and be misled or manipulated. Either way its the government that always wins

They say that playing poker is gambling. That there is too much chance in it.
Well, why in the heck do they allow horse betting? Seems you have 0% chance to affect the outcome. Seems 100% chance.
At least Poker does have some skill, otherwise how can someone win tournaments more than 1 time.
I am confused by why they allow one and not the other?
Thanks for any clarification you all can provide.

I have unlocked all three dealers in the casino, but I can still only play the matching game, when I have been told that I should be able to play poker and blackjack. Is this just my game or is there something else I need to do?
