    Define "safe" please. You mean no chance whatsoever of ever getting scammed or cheated? No but then I don't exactly expect that kind of "safety" from business regulated by our government either. "Safe" as in safe from the reach of government beaurocrats and thieves? Yes! God forbid we be allowed to play poker in a free market.
