Is gambling in the US legal? I live in Virginia. I know there are casinos in Nevada, New Jersey and on Native American reservations. So I guess that gambling laws are state laws and not federal? What I'm most interested in though is not casino gambling or online gambling, but instead activities that friends engage in. For example, is it illegal for me to play cards for money at a friends house? Is it illegal to organize a Fantasy Football league with a buy in that pays out the winner(s). Is it illegal to participate in an NCAA bracket pool with a buy in? Strictly speaking, we do use the internet for the latter two, but not to transfer any money, only to set up the league or pool. I know it doesn't really matter if these activities are legal or not since they aren't enforced, and I don't care about morality issues of whether I'm breaking the law. What I'm concerned with is should I be 'careful' with such activities, like not declaring the fees/payout on a message board or sending email about poker games?

The company helps us with re-location and setting up a bank...His Visa...etc. But I have a few questions..well alot..but a few for now. 1. All my bills are from the U.S.A..he will be getting paid in AU money..so how do I pay them over there? 2. Also, if we choose to live in the city...will I need to buy a car..or are most things within walking or biking distance. 3. If he is sponsored on a 457 Visa...am I able to work over there? Are jobs hard to find? 4. How is the housing...we like small places..just me and my hubby so a small place is fine....What is the cost average? 5. Is there alot of crime? 6.

I have so many more questions...but not enough space...any and ALL information from anyone in the area..will be greatly apprciated. Thank you all in advance. Yes..the exchange rate is horrible at the present moment for sure. However the job pays a good salary AU vs. USA ...after you exchange his salary from AU to USD its a huge pay increase. All of your answers are most helpful..any information is great. Please keep the information coming. I found a few really good web sites about Brisbane...I'm looking into them now.

Would gambling for airline miles be popular? What if one of the airlines started an online casino that would allow people to play poker, bet sports, or maybe even play online game shows against each other in an effort to win each other's airline miles? I assume it isn't legal, although plenty of online casinos offshore accept US dollars, so there wouldn't be much harm in letting people gamble their airline miles against each other. Just a thought.
