Charging juice has nothing to do with it.  It's illegal.

Well I know in ND we can play poker as long as no one is raking the pot.  Had a lawyer in our game confirm this.  Don't see why I can't bet a friend on a FB game, but you may be right.

Sure enough they govt nailed him

He should have leased it...$3k-4k/month payment but you wouldn't throw any red flags...

It's illegal, but they really don't care about low-mid level bookies. Waste of their time. They will start going after you if you get too big.
