Inside online poker
The Richmond Times-Dispatch recently profiled a couple of avid online poker players. They're not teenagers, but the cost of joining in is so low and poker is so hot at colleges and universities that this inside view might be helpful to parents. "For the growing population of poker enthusiasts, the high-speed connection has become an all-access pass to the biggest virtual casino in history. And questions of legality aren't keeping them up at night," according to the Times-Dispatch. A college student Larry Magid recently interviewed for StaySafe.org isn't losing sleep over his poker experience. For the big picture on online gaming of all sorts, see my "Understanding Games & Gaming: A Parent's Guide" at Staysafe (the latest numbers on poker are in point no. 2).
