question on the legality of a site that would help players trade money
By jus2awsum on 05-05-2008 2:59 PM

Would a site that helped players trade money across sites (take their pokerstars money and give them full tilt money and vice versa) be legal? Assuming that Full Tilt and Pokerstars is okay with it, does US legislation allow it?

 I would be charging a fee and it would be a for-profit business.

 Thanks in advance.

I'd be seeking a lawyer before starting a business like that. I'd want someone who understands internet gambling law inside and out.

Try the Poker Players Alliance's Litigation Network, which should be able to help put you in touch with a lawyer in your area:

Given the variations of internet gambling law from country to country, province to province, and state to state, it'll be well-worth your time.
