so this whole subject is very unclear to me. my dad was telling me yesterday with great conviction to never mention to my probation officer that i play online poker. i said, i was not planning on it, but i cant get in trouble for it even if i did, and that people pay taxes on it. he replied by saying something about how if people who ran these sites set foot in america they would be arrested (which im pretty sure is true).

not that i would stop even if it were illegal, but just to set the record straight, you can not be arrested for playing online poker and making monies doing so, correct?
