Online Casino Jurisdictional Effects

The fact that the international online casino gambling industry is just that – international- could be one of the key features that keeps a cheated Swedish player from ever seeing any of his lost poker funds. Poker gambler Isildur1 is one of the top internet based poker gambling professionals in the world. This player has remained anonymous in identity in an effort to avoid hefty Swedish taxes that would be placed on his winnings. But the fact that this top online casino poker player was cheated by Brian Hastings for a whopping $4 million is not sitting well with the player – he’s formally complained to Full Tilt Poker and plans to explore what it will take to recover the illegally won gains.

The big factor that could hinder Isildur1’s attempts to recover any of the $4 million in question is the fact that the Full Tilt operates all over the world and in different nations. Although the company has some ability to investigate the issue and seek out repayment from Brian Hastings, the varying jurisdictions and national restrictions could really mean that Isildur1 has a long road ahead before he is able to see any progress in the case. This situation is precisely why some poker players and land gamblers are hesitant to move into the online casino and internet gambling arena – a fear of uncontrollable illegal activity.

To that end, it seems as though, perhaps, Hastings was unaware that it was against Full Tilt’s poker gambling policies to compile hand histories before facing off. Isildur1 is internationally known for his ability to beat some of the biggest names in the poker industry – and he won’t turn down a single competition if challenged. The loss of the $4 million is certainly a dent in this player’s winnings, although at times he has peaked at raking in $5 million in just two months of frequent and aggressive poker play at Full Tilt.
