Is it legal to host an online poker game for fake currency?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Buy Currency

I mean would it be legal, within the United States, to run an online poker (or anything gambling related for general purposes) game for fake currency?

Subsequently, is it STILL legal if players were allowed to exchange the fake currency for real currency?

I’m not sure, but I think sites like CentSports.com are following this (unsure if tehy’re US-based).

although it may be expensive to start a free poker site it is legal because it is only a game and not gambling. As for th latter you cannot have money transfers involved.

    If it is simply hosting a poker system that you legally own, and with fake money, then it is completely legal.. as for the second part of your question, exchanging real money for fake credits would be illegal, and some sites that do this actual ban accounts that buy or sell fake credits.. Most sites give you a daily or weekly allowance for playing.. hope this helps..
