What are the poker clubs that you speak of? I really miss playing online and would like to do something besides play for play money. It just isn't the same!

What I don't understand is why I.C.E. is involved with any of this. Their logo is up there with the FBI and I don't understand why.


Money laundering. These sites were taking money for one thing and using it for another purpose.

Some of the sites have been used for money laundering (transferring illegal funds out of the country).

That's the reason the DOJ is involved now.

Who'd've thunk it. A gambling enterprise used to launder money! Somebody shoulda done this years ago.

Sorry, I did not answer your question.

I was waiting for someone who actually plays on one of them to come along and offer you their referral link so that they can get some extra credit for the "referral".

I am not a member of any, but do know of one or two. They charge $19.95/month (I think) and offer cash prize tournaments to their members.

If you don't get an answer from someone in the next day or so, I'll give you one.

That's an awful lot of power for one person. But you seem nice, so alright, KayPea chooses.

Suggestions:
on-line gaming
weed
prostitution
Chicago teams allowed to use steroids (it might help)


51, we may not agree on quite a few things, but I agree with your list. Although the steroids one is a tad iffy..

CLUB WPT.COM is a poker club. It's 20 bucks a month and you can play in poker and blackjack tournaments with prizes up to $100,000 a month. I was a member until last month when they banned residents of Oklahoma from playing. My average winnings were around 50 bucks a month and they were prompt in sending me a check whenever I claimed my winnings.

Ive seen the commercial on TV also ..hint (Mike Sextant) and can't help but wonder, wtf is the difference?? Ok , it's league play, run by someone offering cash prizes. It costs them $19.95/month ''membership". I'm guessing there might be profit in this somehow for the organizers (company), players paying and winning cash. I don't see a big difference unless they are being taxed somehow.

He was surrounded by too many non-juicers.
