AlertPay and Facebook Crack Down on Illegal Gambling

Communication between AlertPay and Facebook has led to the termination of several illegal online gambling operations selling virtual poker chips for use on Facebook's “Texas HoldEm Poker” application. Facebook does not permit online gambling on its platform and some sellers attempted to convert the Texas HoldEm Poker application into monetized online gambling.

Site offering for sale virtual poker chips for use with Texas HoldEm Poker are in violation of AlertPay's User Agreement and in potential violation of state and United States Federal law prohibiting unlicensed and/or online gambling, as well as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 31 U.S.C §5362.
