What is the name of your state? OHIO
Hi!
I have used American express credit card account to play poker online and accumulated $4000-$8000 in debt. Now the total debts (including non-gambling) are much higher which i cannot pay off (approc $30000).
It is illegal to play online poker (with money bets) in the state of ohio.
If i file for bankruptcy and thats my only option now, will i face criminal charges? or can i sue (or countersue amex, if they initiate a law suit against me) for allowing me to gamble online, since they violated the the gambling law too.
It goes through a company called paypro (they have presence in US, california) which charges for telecom services but they actually transfer credit card funds to partypoker. Do i have a chance to sue them to get back the money that i gambled ?
What are my options?
Can someone help by thoroughly analyzing my case?
Thanks
