    It depends where you live. Many places ban online gambling.

    Where do you live?

    Make sure your area doesn't ban online gambling.

    I know very little about starting an online poker website...

    But, i guess you'll need a lot of *****, employee alot of people.. (including lawyers, and possibly accountants due to tax reasons), highly skilled programmers to program the software, etc..

    You will need millions of dollars to set up a sucessful poker site, getting investors will be difficult as you will competing with big names like partypoker... and online gambling is illegal in the united states..

    Online poker is a very risky business.. you could either make lots of *****, or lose millons...

    You would need:
    • A professionally-built website. It has to be fully integrated with your poker service, and both browser and server-scripting languages are required.

    • At least one high-bandwidth server to host the poker service from.

    • To be in a country that allows online gambling. I heard that it is not allowed in the US.

    • A custom server application on your poker server to handle every game of poker, and the accounts of people that play.

    • A custom client application, either in Java or in any language that can use the WIndows API.

    In other words, lots of programming skills, lots of ***** and lots of time.
