hello all im a 23 year guy and for the past 2 years i was playing online pokker at various pokker sites like partypokker,pokkkerstars,fulltilt, and a few others. well i winded up losing alot of money. i bounced checks with click2pay,neteller,citadel, and a few others. what i wanna know is can these companies come after me for the money and take me to court and prosecute me for bouncing checks with them. iv heard that gambling debts are noncollectable in the united states but im still a little worried that maybe they will take me to court and prosecute me for bouncing checks with them.click2pay,neteller, and citadel are all payment processors for the pokker sites, they give you the money to play pokker then they are suppose to debit the amount from your bank account but i used the money they gave me and then i never had it in my bank account to cover.i owe neteller like 1500 i owe partypokker like 1000 and i owe citadel like 400 and i owe pokkerstars like 1000. they have been calling me for the past year trying to collect but i always just hang up on them or dont answer the phone. i have learned my lesson about online gambling and do not plan on playing pokker again online iv lost way too much money. the one question i want answered is can these companies take me to court and prosecute me and get there money back. i heard people can go to jail for bouncing checks


From what I have read, they can't do too much to you.
US banks are not supposed to allow payments to these sites. I read citizens bank returned checks for insufficient funds even when people had plenty of money in their accounts. I think if the Federal Government finds out, there might be a problem. So the banks are going to deny it. Unless it was a US based company to who you bounced the check to, I don't think they can touch you.

Another thing I have read is that if you bounce a check to pay someone for the purpose of gambling, they cannot sue you unless they own a cassino.

So lets say we are playing pokker at my house and it is legal to play home games in my state. You write me a check for $500 cause you don't have the cash on you. If I go to the bank and the check bounces, I can't sue you over it in court. I can beat the crap out of you though, lol.
