You do not know how false this is, when I was playing I met several people online that I still keep in touch with to this day, and when I went to vegas 2 weeks ago to play some WSOP events and sit n gos I met a lot of them and this is all these people do - play poker. I have 3 very close friends locally that I met through party poker that still ONLY play poker for a living and do nothing else. Believe me, you can definately make a living playing poker online. -TheActionKid

Most online casinos are reputable. If you stick to ones licensed in the UK or Australia you will have no problems. The games are fair, and while there is a house edge on them you can easily beat them by claiming deposit bonuses. Avoid Playtech and Real Time Gaming casinos. Stick with Microgaming and Cryptologic software. Traveler
As to the poker thing, there is a small army of guys making a living at poker online. If you're playing and you're not one of them, then you're giving your money to one. Traveler
