Also, I have so many questions...

1.) Are these real dollar amounts you're betting with or are these chip counts (like a $10 buy in gets you "$1500" in chips)?

2.) How you able to use facebook to gamble?  Does your group use another site to play, but posts the details on facebook?

3.) How do you work getting your money in and out of the site?  Do you just select a free game and Venmo eachother?

Fwiw, I was super bummed when they banned online poker back in the day.  I spend entirely way too much time on Full Tilt playing for money.  If there is a workaround for me to be able to play online again and legally cash out then I'd be estatic.

Maybe I described that wrong.  

He raised to $12 and two people called.  It came around to me as the dealer and I raised to 40, and the guy that raised to 12 called and then the two guys behind him folded.

1.  These are real dollar amounts.  They do have some tournaments but my attention span never lasts long enough so I only play in cash.  I was in a group where we'd play a single table tourney and the bottom four would pay the top four but that died off.

2.  We're in a group and we use an ap on our phones.  You can buy-in for whatever and play for as long as you want.  The next day, the mods of the group assign people that lost money to pay people who won money.  Basically what you said lol.  

3.  PayPal or Venmo mostly but also things like CashApp, Reddit, and maybe a few others.

I was also super-bummed when they banned it because it was just when I was getting into it more and more.  I was in college and playing on PartyPoker but then also gambling on NFL games on sites like Sportsbook (that's what the app was called).  Now that I think about it, I think I also played poker on Sportsbook.
