This is a pretty basic thread: Are the age laws the same when gambling online?

I'm not sure if there's a strict checking of age in gambling online simply because it's easy to tell a lie in the internet.

Basically, the new laws make it illegal to gamble online, but the way the government is enforcing it is by denying the use of American bank issued credit cards or bank accounts. If you're really serious, you get an off shore account going and play through it.

Anything to do with laws is hard to enforce online. With everyone from all over the world able to take part in anything that is available online, millions and millions and millions of people, it's going to be hard to enforce.
