The goverments own investigators have said that they cannot prove any link to terrorism from online gambling. This is just the chicken little line taken by those who have no idea of what is really going on.
Fat politicians pouting because they can't figure out a way to get their cut and some right wingers who want to make sure you live their 'correct' lifestyle.

But in light of all this, I think you should all get rid of all your 'corrupt' gambling domains by giving them to me for safe keeping

Follow the money... Believe it or not I think the US gov't wishes it could somehow participate in this 6 billion dollar a year industry.

The terrorist "front money" stuff is pure B.S. When I was watching C-Span yesterday, frequently the lead sponsors of the bill mentioned how much money these off shore companies were taking with them (referring to the 6 billion the US was losing out on). My guess is that the states want a part of this action.

The indian reservations, state lotto, et al will soon announce it's o.k to gamble through state internet site. It would wipe their deficits out in a week if they let it happen. You mark my word, that is coming down the pipe. Again, always follow the money.

As a staunch republican, I'm appalled, but not suprised most republican's favor this bill. Hopefully this thing will be killed in the Senate conference committeee. It still has to go their before it reaches the president's desk.

Btw: The lead sponsors of the bill, a Republican from Alabama and a Democrat from Oregon rely heavily on casino gambling. In oregon there are a lot of indian gambling casino's.

So what do you guess these casino's have seen a drop in "visitors". Afterall a "gambler" is a "gambler". The internet is a perfect venue for an addicted gambler. They will gamble wherever and whenever. Now what do you suppose the states feel threatened by internet based casino's. I'm sure they feel real threatened, enough to "create" a bill that would prevent a private citizen from spending their money online in a way they would like to.

They sure don't mind them gambling in state. Everytime there has been a measure to eliminate gambling, it's been voted down, resoundedly. So all the B.S about how "internet gambling" is effecting families is just that "pure b.s". If the states were really concerned about the harmful effects of gambling they would shut down these land-based casino's, but in truth they can't. The revenue gotten from these establishments are footing the bill for a lot of programs.

Yes, my friends, we are witnessing a situation where "states" have declared war on the internet. If they have their way, they will try to destroy it, as they want that "tax" money. Which if they spent it right, they wouldn't have to worry about it.

What an incredible waste of time and money in the name of "doing the right thing". recall how these stellar examples stopped there vices dead in their respective tracks?

Prostitution: pimps and whores: 1, politicians: 0

Illegal drugs: pushers: 1, politicians: 0

Prohibition: Bronfmans: 1, politicians: 0

And the beat goes on

My opinions are just that.. mine...
and I do not retract from my previous post.

You all can enjoy this waste of time discussion.

You definitely have a strong opinion TexasFilly, I wouldn't suggest you change it. The point of this thread though is to show how increasingly the states are trying to sabatoge the internet. It's of no coincidence this bill was started in the House, which is made up of state representatives. I really do think state lotto's and indian casino's are the ones celebrating this bill. I suppose the governor's are to since a lot of that 6 billion dollars will float back to them. By next election they can say they "balanced" their budgets and created new programs, blah, blah blah.

Stopping credit card payment of online gambling will not stop it from happening. Someone will just open a "gamblingpal" service to cater to the market and require cash payment up front or bank transfers. Most online gaming is already offshore of the US, meaing it can only be resticted to the gambler, not the "casino" operator by local law.

Personally, I think anyone who participates in offshore gaming is taking a pretty big risk, where you have no idea if they are legitimate, and there are no local laws to prevent or sue cheating casinos who may never pay out, or be scams.

actually adoptable,

The whole idea is to stop all forms of payments , set up a "gambingpal" service and the Banks and CC companies will simply refuse (by law) to have any funds sent to those places....

I very much like the idea of this.. I mean stop and think about it for a second..ANYONE can BE "a" casino the way it is setup now.. ! anyone !

All you need is a to either get the gamblers cc number and or Bank account # .. the swindles are already runing into the billions.

The idea that people dont want it regulated are either the uniformed, the ignorant or the crook...

I dont give care if people gamble on line..it's there mony they can do with it as they please.. Just asking for some common sense on the matter instead of the usual lunatic rantings about the government ..

This is part of what we pay our taxes for..to serve and PROTECT the population.

The first line of the article spells out at the core the very basics on why regulation is needed..

"It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how easy it is for an unregulated online casino to not pay winnings, or to simply prevent players from accessing their accounts."

BTW..yes I agree with you..anyone dealing with these offshore "casinos" isnt in there right mind
