Yeah - online poker that involves gambling with your own money deposited on a poker site is only legal in a few states. Global Poker's sweepstakes model gets them around that - what's really awesome for them is that they say they patented the process so no other online poker sites can use it (unless they license it for $). I feel safe putting my money on there since they have an office in San Francisco, CA and process deposits and withdrawals via PayPal - with lots of people on 2+2 having no issues getting their money.
