Someone once told me that winnings gotten from online poker is mostly never used for something good. I laughed. Wouldn't that depend on the person who won?
It is just like sports betting platforms. When you register and deposit a certain amount of money, they give you a bonus based on how much you deposited. Then you can use the bonus to wager, and after fulfilling the requirements, you can withdraw the winnings from the bonus.
I don't think tax is being paid on winnings, unless things are different in other places. It is just like sports betting, you don't get taxed on your winnings.
Well, it is nothing new that most sites will demand for your personal information, at least to an extent. If I trust them that they will pay me when I win, then I should be willing to give them some of my personal information as well.
I prefer to play on my mobile phone. Please because I can access poker sites on my phone easily wherever I find myself. You don't always get that with a PC.
Before I devote my time and energy to an online poker site, I make sure that I do enough research and check for reviews of the site. This will give me insight on what to expect, and whether I should go ahead or not.
