Do you have to be 18 or 21 to gamble via online poker?

cuz i'm between

<18

Its 18 at every major online site.

And even then, its rarely more than a suggestion.

is it not 21 for americans?

i was playing online poker when i was 17. i signed up to loads of different sites and never had a problem. i just said i was 18. they wont find out

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.

Just wondering, im 17 and have accounts on PS and Full Tilt, do you have to send ID when cashing out by check to any of these sites?

appreciate any feedback

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.
