Home Page - State Poker Laws - Maine
This is another state with no licensed poker rooms and harsh laws against gambling. The lack of choices is not just poker, it is for all gambling except horse race betting.
Gambling is clearly defined to include all forms of gambling including poker. Unlawful gambling in Maine is gambling not expressly authorised by the statute. Unlawful gambling is a class D crime in Maine which could result in you spending up to 364 days in jail and a $2000 fine. Home poker games in Maine among family and friends seems to be somewhat legal as long as no one is profiting through the rake.
You will have to set up a home game if you want to play live poker here, because there are no licensed poker rooms in the state.
