First of all, I need to introduce myself. I gamble from time-to-time, for little change (I barely bet more than $15), sometimes at a casino, once at a party, when given the chance. I am like most people out there that use a computer. I started out with simple solitaire. Then I got bored and stopped solitaire. I go online and some cards in a banner get my attention. I click. I was then able to play poker online for play money. Then I got into the casino games I had on my phone... and got me into playing more casino games online, still for play money and points .

How many people do you know are in the situation above?

That is where most people I know are.

This time, I try to play online. I come home from a Vegas trip, which peaked my interest, and searched for some live dealer games online. Looks like the only one available in the US.

OK, I'll sign up and play for real money. This should be fun!

Too bad I came across problems.
