I've played, and I'm good enough to play for $$$ (the freeplay players are really really bad and they don't get better they just keep getting worse). So I go to deposit using credit card and it won't let me! What a joke. All the other options for payment to the poker site are either for USA only or expensive ($25 deposit fee! no thanks).

After some investigation i think the reason why the credit card transaction was declined is because providing interactive internet gambling to Australians is illegal. It's not illegal to be a customer, only a provider, but the banks obviously are able to block payment to eGambling sites.

This is just plain ridiculous and wrong. It's MY money... so why? F***ing government regulations interfering with my life! I don't need it!

Yeah, so anyway I'm pretty grumpy now (I'll get over it) but if anyone can tell me anything that'd cheer me up please do.
