It depends on the question of the state, the players and the rake.

In most states it is perfectly legal to play poker for real money at home. It is generally preferable that the people who legitimately are invited to the friends you associate with outside of a poker game are. When you start the stranger, to load the game, you are always on thin ice. If you like to take guests for a rake, a benefit is from the party, you are against the law in most states.

I suggest you invite your friends only. Play like a tournament. Each pays $ 20 to play. Distributors receive a $ 20) for each transaction (purchase price. All three players share the money, 20%, 30% and 50% in the first place. For a larger pot that people buy when the bankruptcy in the first hour or two. Give people all Tournment $ 1000 in chips to start.

Set a deadline for the game and the blinds increase every half hour. Have fun and good luck!

YES. Even if you do not charge people admission or a fee for the collection of players - is 100% not the law. Is it legal to do paris with friends, not only legal, act, a casino and make money from it (except the money you can win the bet).

It depends on your state of residence.

In Virginia, where I live, which is legal as long as there is no rake.

Laws from state to state. It is safest if you do not bet real money, but in some countries it is legally permitted in a given period of monetary and / or if the owner does not benefit directly from the game.
