these sites really really need to rid the kids from playing in mommie and daddy's accounts . I swear I was playing a 12 year old at a table though i ended up taking him/her out, I must tell you he must have had the 4 corors on to make sure he/she had a hand LOL. He/she was an alright plkayer. but is i were his/her mother i would really hide all my credit cards and check book away.

How in god's name could you come to the conclusion you were playing a 12 year old at a table on an ONLINE poker site?

I think by the way she wrote that post she may have tied a few too many on last night.

This is another one of the many issues that these online operators have to address. It is easy to pick the kids out by the way that they chat and there are thousands of them at both the play money tables and the real money tables. As no ID is ever requested by anyone involved in the online gaming industry including Neteller it is easy for an underage person to set up and fund an account and start playing for real money. As long as you don't withdraw yopu can even have a Neteller account without even registering a bank account.
If the industry does not make a concerted effort to eliminate underage players in my opinion the US government has every right or even obligation to either make online gaming illegal or at the least to regulate it so that these operators are governed by the same laws and rules as the brick and mortar establishments.

This is one of the reasons that congress wants to ban online poker. Because of these stupid kids. Parents need to be way more cautious.

If they are going to ban underage online gambling because of the kids, then they need to ban alcohol, ban cigarettes because kids can't access those as well. While we are at it, I have heard of kids that drive underage. Better stop people from driving too, because of those kids.

Come on, this is ridiculous. There is no reason to ban online poker. Let me correct that. There is no good reason to ban online poker. All the reasons are hypocritical to lotteries, horse betting etc.
