    This would be the same fake money you just told us can be exchanged for real money?

    Nothing is set in stone yet. It was just an idea that the fake money could be exchanged for real money.

    Now I am asking if its just fake money we gamble with (has no real cash value) would it still be illegal. It would be like playing poker with match sticks (no real money is involved).

    Yes, sorry. I am from the UK. I forgot laws are different in the US and other countries. Although 80% of the community are from the US and 15% are canadian leaving only a couple of us from the UK.

    I guess the exchanging of real money would be illegal. How about just the fake money though. The money is completely worthless and has no real cash value.

    We can't talk about UK laws see www.thelawforum.co.uk.

    US law bans any of the banks and credit card processors from forwarding money to or from such operations off-shore.
    You should also note that the US Federal government has interdicted domain names of violators.

    I've not come here to break any laws. I am simply trying to find out what is illegal before I go ahead and do it. If it is illegal then I will not go ahead with the idea. Also thank you for your time and the link to the UK forums. I assumed it would have something to do with US laws because it will be 80% US members.
