On serveral of the sites I play on I have noted that there are alot of 18, 19, and 20 year olds playing for money. These are kids that live in the USA so it is not from countries that let these people play. I was wondering why sites like Bodog lets these kid play when if the congresspersons that want to keep the online gambling bill in effect fine this it will give them ammo to keep poker money transfers from banks in effect. It is like always greed for short term gains over rides long term gains. If member of the PPA let them know you want them to contact the sites and see if they will get the kids off the site.

To quote Doyle Brunson, "What would you rather have your children doing? Playing poker on the internet, or out doing drugs and drinking?" Not only can you still play online poker in the U.S., but the legal gambling age is 18. You just can't put money on online poker sites in the states. And don't think for a second that kids have anything to do with why this bill is enacted. It's all money, sir, not for the safety of America's youth or some load of bs. Like you said, it's always greed, but this time it's not on the side of the poker sites.
