Question

Is it illegal to play poker online (for real money). If you live in New York and over 18, but under 21?

Answer 1

I don't believe it is legal to gamble online in any state anymore. In September 2006, the federal government passed the Internet Gaming bill (which was added to the Port Security bill), and it changed the whole gambling world as we once knew it.

However, if you are talking about playing poker or blackjack online in a legal manner, then you might want to try http://www.clububt.com which is legal based on sweepstakes laws and is legal in New York ( I checked for you.) If you register and enter this code WEC97XUK, it will give you two free weeks on their site. If you decide to sign up for a paid membership, then I think you can actually collect on the prizes. I have a paid membership there and I've won real cash there and they do pay.
