The gambling forum. The unofficial (longer) version

Maria was born in Moscow, Russia and came to the United States when she was four years old. Her first ever book was written in Russian. It was five pages long and had something to do with trolls. When Maria was in fourth grade, she wrote a play. It took what felt like years to complete and all of fifteen minutes to perform. The audience (of proud parents and siblings) raved. Maria cried when she realized that the sounds she kept hearing were not tears but suppressed—and then not so suppressed—laughter at the dead king who couldn't stop wriggling as he lay on top of the two chairs that were supposed to symbolize his tomb. You know how the story ends. The chairs slid apart. The deceased monarch crashed to the floor. The room erupted. It was not how Maria had envisioned her first theatrical production.

Maria is the author of two New York Times best-sellers, The Confidence Game(Viking/Penguin 2016)and Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes(Viking/Penguin, 2013). Her new book, The Biggest Bluff, about the balance of skill and chance in life, will be out from Penguin Press on June 23, 2020. She is a contributing writer for The New Yorker, where she writes a regular column with a focus on psychology and culture, and is the host of the longform storytelling podcast from Panoply, The Grift, about con artists and the lives they ruin. Her podcasting work earned her a National Magazine Award nomination in 2019. Her first book, Mastermind, has been translated into nineteen languages. It was nominated for the Agatha Award and the Anthony Award for Best Non-fiction and was a Goodreads People's Choice Semifinalist for 2013. The Confidence Game was awarded the 2016 Robert P. Balles Prize in Critical Thinking by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. While researching her latest book, Maria became an international poker champion and the winner of over $300,000 in tournament earnings–and inadvertently turned into a professional poker player. She is currently a visiting fellow at NYU's School of Journalism.

In late December 2006, Russia's President Vladimir Putin signed a bill into law that effectively banned all gambling within the country of Russia, except in four government-designated zones where government-run casinos continue to operate. The bill outlawed all forms of online poker within the country, including the playing of online poker for real money. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, casinos began to spring up wildly within Russias larger cities, causing many citizens and government officials to raise concerns regarding the social policies of gambling within the country. While the bill does make room for casinos to continue to operate within the designated zones, it completely forbids any Russian citizen from playing online poker for real money.

Deposit Options At Russian Poker Sites

Like most bans on online poker in other parts of the world, this bill has been ineffective at truly curbing the play of online poker for real money within the country of Russia. While the government does have the ability to close online poker providers operating within the Russian jurisdiction, stopping Russian citizens from playing on foreign online poker sites is a seemingly impossible task. Thus, there have been no reports of any Russian citizens being charged with crimes resulting from playing online poker at foreign sites. Thousands of Russian citizens continue to enjoy the exciting game of online poker. However, due to the current ban on online poker within the country, funding their real money online poker accounts can prove to be a real challenge for Russian citizens.

Because of the ban on online gambling in Russia, most Russian banks and credit card companies will refuse to authorize any transactions to online poker providers. When attempting to make a deposit directly from their credit card or bank account, Russian online poker players will usually face an immediate rejection, with a notice stating that current laws will not permit the transaction. Thus, it can be very difficult for these players to find a way to get real money into their online poker accounts.

One of the best available options for Russian poker players to deposit funds into their real money online poker accounts is by using a third-party payment processor. These services, such as those offered by the popular Neteller, give users the ability to make deposits from their credit card or bank accounts without having to make the transaction directly to the online poker site. Instead, users must first link their bank account or credit card to the third-part payment processor account and then make a transfer into an online poker account.

Third-party payment processors will generally work for Russian online poker players because most banks and credit card companies will not deny the transaction. Since the funds can be used for any online transaction to a variety of different online merchants, most banks and financial institutions will approve the transactions without any problems. Therefore, online poker players playing within the Russian jurisdiction will most likely need to use a service such as Neteller to fund their real money online poker accounts.
