Online poker?

I guess the real question is how to fund. I see a few options on Google but obviously my BofA visa card will not work.

 

They're tough to fund since the UIGEA.  There's a few options...WU or moneygram usually work.  There are prepaid visa cards you can buy at most malls that will go through on a deposit where your credit or debit card won't work (or at least they would a year ago) that might also be an option.

I remembered that I have a credit union visa. Worked just fine.

 

I was recommended 2 sites: Carbon Poker and Bovada (the US version of Bodog)

 

Carbon has a better interface however the customer service is bad. I contacted them 3 times and never received a response. Once was in response to the servers going down. It may have been on my end I'm not sure. But when i was able to reconnect the two games I was in were gone and no evidence that I had played (no hand history etc). The money was gone though. Someone suggested that I go on 2+2 forums as there is usually a CP rep there. But I wanted to try Bovada.

 

Bovada has great customer service. I have contacted them by both email and phone and they couldn't be better or quicker. The interface isn't quite as good as CP and the games aren't perfect. They have 10/5/3 min blind options for single table SnGs. 5 is my pref but they only have 6 player tables. I only play 9 player. I may email and ask if they will open some.

 

Bovada seems jucier so far. There were some decent plays on CP.

I think you're out of luck, for now. A friend of mine that plays professionally moved to Costa Rica to play online. I know Nevada is moving towards legalizing online poker but it'll be a while before it is legal nationally.

 

Poker itself is not technically illegal. It's just illegal for banks to allow you to fund it.

gettting money in isn't a problem, it's getting your winnings back out that's the trick.

 

True.

 

Both of the sites I mentioned have a good track record of getting your money back. You will read some bad reviews on delays and ID requests but I haven't seen anyone who had their money stolen.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
