gambling online
Maurice asked:

Sometimes I play poker and sports betting on the internet, from Paris ( I live in France).
I lose, I win, it depends…But yes, I had some good opportunities to earn big money ( more than $3000 in one night)

Have I the right to spend it in the USA ?

For example, for real estate ?

    yes you should. the money you win off the internet, they don’t know if you won it off gambling or not. it’s just like saying that i won 3000 dollars in poker and going to sonewhere else to buy things. people don’t understand that money from a different country isn’t money from the United States. Whatever you win should be allowed to use in the US.
