Its 18 at every major online site.

And even then, its rarely more than a suggestion.

Sometimes to cash out you have to send the poker site photo ID. Being underage might make things a little hairy. Back in the day, my friends just used their parents name etc.

When i cashed $1200 off stars by cheque, they didnt ask any questions. If its over $1000 on PS they courier it for free, got it tow days after I sent for it. It was pretty sweet. There is nothing poker realted on the cheque, so your bank wont know the difference. I deposited mine in an ATM machine incase the teller tried to look me up.
