Who's Blogging  |
To place bets at an online gambling Web site, a player must deposit money in a virtual account using a credit card, check or electronic funds transfer.
When the player wins, the gambling Web site adds "electronic currency" to the virtual account.
When the player wants to withdraw money from his virtual account, the gambling Web site wires the funds to the player's bank account or issues the player a check.
