we know that online gambling is illegal
ive read alot of posts but people are unable to withdraw funds from betting sites on the internet seems like their banks block transactions coming from gambling sites like bet365
back in may 2016 i was able to deposit into my pokerstars account from my visa card now i cant
using skrill for gambling is against the terms and conditions (because its illegal to gamble online here but i deposited from there anyway)
" Countries where online gambling is
illegal include the United States of America, Turkey, China, Malaysia and Israel. This list is not
exhaustive and it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not use our services for transactions
that may be considered illegal in your jurisdiction"
i might be able to withdraw into my skrill but if they find out theyre going to suspend/close my account , and should i even try moving the money from skrill to my bank ? would my bank know that the money thats coming from skrill actually came from pokerstars ?
what are the penalties of violating this law ? should i stay away from this completely or what ?
has anyone withdrew any money from betting sites online to their bank or visa ? (please give examples)

Sorry fo the late reply i just saw it.
First, skrill can know you are from lebanon and it is illegal to to gamble online so sooner or later they will find out.
Second, you can withdraw the money from skrill to your bank account,no worries, since skrill is used for a lot of things other than gambling and your bank can not know what you used skrill for.
Third, i do not know the exact penalty and i do not think that we have a specific punishment for it under the law of lebanon, but it is subjected to the illegal gambling laws we have.
Fourth, although the cyber crimes department of isf is not always following cases of online gambling ,they have better things to do, you do not want to get caught and go through the hassle of courts and wasayet here, so just keep away from it.
