I am not familiar with this case. Do you have a link to it, I would like to read up on it.

you might worry about whats next. i seriously doubt the bank is your biggest problem right now. i don't see any possible situation where they suspect illegal activity and take direct action without reporting it to authorities at the same time.

When they closed the accounts of SilverCash several years ago (with no notice so most affiliate checks bounced) solely for being an "adult" company, I called and they told me they don't do business with anyone in the adult industry or the liquor industry.

I moved my accounts within the week.

I'd say Bank of America is the least of your worries since they have surely informed the alphabet guys (IRS, FBI, etc.) of your transactions. :(

the reasons for that are those little annoyances to some of the kids out there called "laws". do you understand how regulated banks are? the rules they have. they laws they have to follow? they don't get to pick and choose which clients they allow to break the law using their bank to facilitate the transactions.

and what if the gov says one day you cannot spend your hard earned $ on porn... then what..

2. it should be the choice of the customer where to spend his money or where not to - saying you cannot spend $ for online gambling in the privacy of your own home can be a slippery slope in the future - what if they say no more porn as a next step?

3. this whole online / offline gambling argument is politically and religiously driven for the most part - also there is a push from the land-based gaming community to ban online ONLY because it helps their bottom line - not because of any moral issue

Thankfully you aren't a lawyer, because the judges would hurt themselves laughing at you.

yys 12-29-2006 08:43 AM

So much misinformation

Online gambling is/was only illegal in a few states hence the reason for the new bill; which hasn't even come into effect yet.

You just have to check out the Peter Dicks of Sportingbet case in New York. He was released by a judge as he broke no laws in New York State.

I was always under the impression that it really depended on who was interpreting the law.. There was nothing specific banning online offshore gambling, but many considered it to be under the umbrella of other statutes, while others didnt. Dont know if there had ever been a real precedent set, when it comes to offshore online gambling. I need to read up on some of this stuff.

haven't had time to read this thread but how come you were unaware of this new law that comprimised the right to gamble if you use american banks?

Donny 12-29-2006 09:45 AM

Has boneprone stopped posting (which he did right in the middle of drama) because the low men in yellow coats have finally found him and taken him away?

Kimmykim 12-29-2006 10:36 AM

Account wagering has been illegal in the US for more than a few months. It is, and will continue to be, the cornerstone of the legal and criminal cases that come to trial.

You can bet all you want to -- you can play poker -- you can do whatever -- without account gaming. Once you deposit money into an account, or have an account created that would store your winnings and allow you to bet with them, you have then created an account.

That is illegal.

I suspect you have much experience with that... except your "men in yellow coats" said "praise xxx church" over and over again.

Donny, go back to whatever hole you crawled into. Useless git.

that doesn't make sense.. how can something be illegal if it hasnt been done yet..

The creation of the account isnt illegal. The facilitating its use to gamble is.

LexiLexxx 12-29-2006 12:00 PM

damn that sucks man, I hope u get it all back.

Living here in Vegas, I seen a sign at the casino that allows you to bet on sports using the internet, and I'am guessing that you have to live in the state of Nevada.

Good Luck, time to make some changes, but I'am wondering of what they did it 100% legal.

#1 is a fact outside of the US. The fact that it is legal to smoke pot in Amsterdam doesn't mean you can deal on a street corner in Jersey City.

#2 is a total opinion.

#3 is politically slanted spew, likely learned from watching cable news. Political opinion isn't a fact.

As I said, the judges would split a gut listening to you.

Bonerprone dude I swear this is not meant to make light of your situation or laugh at you but seriously are you like bi-polar or something???

even the lowest level retard knows that gambling has always been a touchy if not illegal subject and that bank of america doesent do touchy...what exactly were you thinking???


then you bounce from board to board braging about how much money you spend on XYZ ETC ETC

....dude you are the weakest link

someone really needs to take this guy under their wing and teach him basic day to day life management

then instead of you turning of the fucking computer and dealing with your issues....you post a play by play on GFY

I call every thing you ever said bullshit

get a life man

pussyserver - BANNED FOR LIFE 12-29-2006 12:28 PM

By the way if this really had happened to this retard

I would hope idiot has enough sense to drive over to his branch office and deal with it

again I call bullshit drama from a retard just trying to brag or some shit once again

:2 cents: :2 cents:

TD Canada Trust froze and then reversed a $15K wire on me, then another $10K. They never provided a good reason they literally said "we cannot be certain of the source of your funds so we are terminating our banking relationship with you". I know the real reason was some teller didnt like the look of me and money laundering laws are just as Nazi in canada too.

Were they the bank that prached morals and closed accounts for being adult industry related a few years back??

It states in both Wells Fargo and BofA's TOS that they do not do business with adult companies.

It usually is up to your branch manager and many times they will ask you to not mention what you do and if your rep knows what you do and not the branch manager they may ask you to call their cell and shit like that. It's crazy what you have to do in order for someone to TAKE your money.

boneprone 12-29-2006 08:54 PM

Things are getting worked out..

Im not worried...

Im more worried about the 7k I have on tonights Blazer game against the 76ers..

Fizzgig 12-29-2006 08:58 PM

Good luck with it. I'm glad things are looking up.

boneprone 12-29-2006 09:01 PM

OK here's the deal and update to what’s going on. All Joking Aside….

As many of you know, I own a deli.. A casino video poker deli.. With slot machines and video poker in it.

It is LEGAL here in this state.. In fact they are state leased and managed machines.. Licensed and legal.. 83% of the revenue of this Deli comes from Video Poker revenue..

Of which this biz has its banking done at B of A...

It has taken some time to explain to them that yes indeed the account there was used for gaming income. But LEGAL gaming income.. As licensed by the state.. Thus they have no right to close this account for "gambling" as the lumped this all into.. For it was LEGAL...

As for the credit cards like the World Series of Poker Visa they gave me, yes that will be closed.. It was used for what is now considered illegal online gambling. There is no excuse for that and I have accepted this.. No excuses from me on this.. Funny how its a "poker" credit card issued to me when I was in Las Vegas playing in the world series of poker, but all joking aside it is something I can live with.

As for the other accounts, we are filing an appeal which im confident will turn out just fine..

Time will tell.

This has been a learning experience to say the least.
