Why can't I deposit money on fulltilt/bodog anymore, what does the legislation mean?

I was told that it's restricted but every so often it works by bodog, is that a lie? And what exactly is the reason for all this? When did this legislation go through? Who does it affect? Is it federal? I use a Visa, walmart money card. I don't have a bank account, I refuse to give anymore money to the bank, do i have any other options.|||The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in September 2006, but the "compliance date" was pushed back many many many times. It was pushed back for the final time to June 1, 2010.





This act makes it illegal to transfer money from a US bank to any internet gambling site. Since June 1, getting money onto the internet sites has been a bit of hit and miss (I only know about the poker sites, I don't know much about the casino sites). Credit cards are not working very well, but I believe ACH (bank transfers) have been somewhat successful.





Personally, I would NOT try to do a bank transfer. I think you open yourself up to all types of legal hassles, including (possibly) getting your accounts frozen.





If I wanted to get money on the site, I would try to contact a friend who has money on the site and ask to do a player to player transfer. You can also check twoplustwo.com to see if someone can do a transfer with you for PayPal or something. I would not try to deposit directly on the poker sites for a few weeks until you can see how the government is reacting to the UIGEA compliance day.|||you can try sites like absolute poker and then transfer ur chips thru a third party site like sendmychips.com. Absolute poker and their sister site UB, have no morals, so they dont mind taking ur visa payment and disguising their payment processor as a 'mixed marketing' or 'travel shoppe' retailer. From there you can use a few different sites to ship your chips from one site to another.


The other way to do it is to use an online wallet like quicktender (aka usemywallet) or ewalletexpress. These places will take ur coin from ur card, for a small fee (around 5%) hold it in this so called online wallet, then let u deposit to any site that is affiliated with them, including full tilt poker.
