Underage Gambling

[caretohuan]

What is the name of your state? Texas

Im an underage gambler, and have been for the past two years. I've lost nearly 5 thousand dollars. I did not know that gambling under the age of 18 online is illegal until recently. Is there anything i can do about losses?

First, you need to delete the other 2 threads you started for the exact same question.

Ignorance of the law is not an affirmative defense for breaking the law. As to the matter of the $5K, the money is gone. Consider it a very expensive lesson.
