Playing Poker on Campus Networks

So sometimes I have an hour or two between classes and the time for a roundtrip from campus to my apartment makes it not worth it to go home. I'm contemplating hiding out somewhere like in the library and just grinding for an hour before my next class.

Is there any way I could get in trouble with any sort of campus authorities if I use the school network for poker? Is it even possible for the school network to know I'm playing poker on campus?

Has anyone heard of anyone getting into trouble for playing?

To log on to the school network you have to use your school ID on their "gateway" page, so they definitely know who you are when you log in.

I do it regularly and have never gotten in trouble.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks for the responses. I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard otherwise.

a lot of internet use agreements that you have to agree to in order to log on prohibit it.

If I remember correctly, you attend UC Davis, and there is no problem grinding pokers on the moobile network. I've seen people playing in shields and I myself have played in the dorms through the wireless.
