Question by John H: Can I legally join tournaments on Full Tilt Poker if I’m 18?
The tournament in question is a satellite to a live tournament in Las Vegas. I know that I am allowed to participate in the poker online because of the fact that Full Tilt is based in another country but my question is if I happen to win the tournament and my prize is a seat in a live tournament in Las Vegas, will I be allowed to play. And if not what sort of compensation will I get because I won.

Here is the relevant article from the Terms & Conditions:
“you are at least 18 years of age, or of at least the minimum permitted age for participating in such activities if you are situated in a state, province or commonwealth that stipulates a minimum age restriction that is greater than 18 years”

No, I’m afraid not. You have to be 21 years old to play in Vegas.

Question by mcscruff: Is there any site where a teen can legally play online poker?
I’m 16 and I really like playing poker (specifically Texas Hold ‘Em). I was just wondering if there are any online poker sites where I can LEGALLY play online poker (for play money, of course).

Answer by ZCT
You can LEGALLY play poker for play money anywhere you like.

The laws are in place to protect minors from gambling, playing games for play money is just fine. Although I would still add three years to your DoB when you sign up, because some sites may not want minors there.

For play money I recommend Poker Stars. Nice customizable interface. But Tilt is fun. And True Poker is very cool with a first person 3D perspective. See link for links.

Why do you say Florida players can’t play on those poker sites? Many people from Florida play on those sites.
