| There are alot worse things you can spend your money on. The government just wants to get their hand into it for the $$$. I don't know why they are targeting online gambling, when you can sign up at a bazillion porn sites, that offer anything from beastiality to barely legal (and often times not) girls. Besides, people will find a way to gamble on-line, so they may as well get used to it. |

I agree with catrescue that the government should keep their nose out of peoples lives. Personally I believe the real reason (not the public one) that they are attempting to outlaw onlining gambling in the US is because the government is not getting their piece of the pie. I also thing that the next thing you will see will be government regulated online casinos not only in Australia but also in the States......and that they will come with all of the tax implications as B&M casinos.
I live in Canada and already have a number of casinos won't allow Canadians to gamble with them. Primarily on-line casinos with offices in Canada. |

I know a decent casino you could try. Littlewoods casino was one of the few that used to be in THE BEST category because it was licensed in the Isle of Man but eventually all the casinos licensed there left. Littlewoods is a well respected name in the UK. Although this casino doesn't allow US players, it allows Canadians.
I'm an affiliate here too but have not started to promote them because they don't allow US residents. It's powered by Cryptologic software but I think they might have their own support (freephone Canada: 011-800-7777-4357).
It's here: www.littlewoodscasino.com

| Well the legality isn't clear in the US. Many casinos don't allow US players but it's the biggest market so most do despite pressures not to. |

gambling online is fine but there should be much tighter regulations for the casinos, their policy's and their track record i.e three strikes and your out!
It seems rogue casinos are allowed to do as they please. |

The US government went in the wrong direction. Instead of trying to make online gaming illegal, they need to get it regulated. Have it so when a player in the US gets winnings not paid, money stolen from their checking account by unauthorized charges being out through.. etc., then the laws can be enforced, no matter what country this casino is doing business in.
And if that country has a problem with US laws reaching in, then those cssino's IP's needs to be blocked so they can not be accessed from within the States. |

I agree there should be one set of regulations for all online casinos and if any dont meet these requirements they should be removed/rufused a licence.hell we need a licence to own a t.v. set in the uk, why not to run a casino online? we need a waoc....world authourity for online casino's

In my opinion, if the U.S. legalized gambling on the net then it would be government regulated, which in turn would cost casinos and winning patrons money (tax on winnings).
But on the flip side, if the casinos are regulated it would help the honest casinos, and get rid of the dishonest ones, which in a sense would protect us, the gambler.
Somehow though, I just can't see the U.S. taking a percentage when they could have the whole ball of wax.
Why take a small percentage of the action with all the headaches of licensing, regulating, and being an advocate.
When all they would need to do is legalize there own U.S. casino, or casinos, and make all others illegal.
I think this opinion came from my Italian ancestry. LMAO!

Why not clean up the internet of real harmful things to kids. Porn sights Pedaphile's possing as children to lure children away etc. Identity thieves
There is so much internet corruption going on
Gambling is the least of the US concern. Focus on the real problems and illegal activities. |

I agree 100 percent but I do believe that online casinos have become more dishonest over the years and should be regulated more. I have not won a dime in two years because I can never get above the wagering requirements and just as I am about to come close I end up on a losing streak. |

I agree 100%. Leave us alone to do what we want with our hard earned money. Hey, anytime they want to just give me money then they can tell me what I can't spend it on. Until then I will do as I please.

| Where I live in the US we also have bingo halls, where you are essentially gambling, and the lottey, which is again gambling, but they don't want you to gamble online. Then I can always go to Vegas, South Dakota, Atlantic City...etc., and gamble, so what could be the difference?? The governments SHARE.... |

I totally agree with all of this. Let's face it, the true reason these congressmen and other lawmakers are putting up
a stink about online gambling is that they're not in on the action.
But as others have said, if the US regulates it, then here come the taxes. Probably along the lines of:
You win $$$$, we tax you for that.
At the end of the year, let's take another bite out of you, because it attributes to your income.
Not to mention any other state incurring taxes, etc. |

Im from Washington, and since this whole thing has happened i havent heard one thing about it publicly (for the most part) i mean making something a felony and then quietly getting it out into the public and its all hush hush? I found out about this from a friend emailed me an article, like 2 weeks before this went into affect. Ive told or asked if anyone new about it (online gambling illegal here WA) all the way up to the day it went into affect. Out of 30-40 people i talked to only two of them had heard of it. Over half of the 30-40 people did gamble or play poker online too. It really just throws me for a loop, how the government just wants to control you and want us to depend on them. Like they care so much about our well being. lol. They dont care about nothing but money and votes for up coming elections. Which in my State elections are more corrupt than internet gambling.
I dont know exact amount but hundreds of thousands of dollars of my and other tax payers money went down the toliet because Rossi (R) won the govener election, but a Liberal judge awarded a recount, which Rossi won again. and again a Liberal judge awarded another recount and more tax payers $ down the tube. Then the (D) finally won, and when Rossi asked for a recount, Liberal judge says no this has gone on long enough there will be no more recounts. lmao It really makes no sense and am baffled that they were able to get away with that. Its common sense Rossi wins first 2 elections/recount and Greguire wins the 3rd recount and thats that, she wins????????????????????????????????????????????
We have some of the highest cigarette and gas taxes in the US. The reason they give to help people quit smoking cause its bad for you. ( cause they care so much lol ) Gas tax to fix the roads and traffic thats 20 years behind because all that previous money that was supposed to fix the freeways was all spent on the planning and structure and research of what was going to happen to the fix the traffic and roads (which in the end it still has'nt happened) For pete's sake just fix it!
I think the Tribes here paid off both parties (D) & (R) to pass this law through too. So the indians will get richer and politions will get votes and a be able to at least claim taxes from the tribes pathetic casino's. It is just such a shame that there is not a dang thing i can do about it. I would love to see or hear of a major protest and some kind of demand from all of us hard working citizens that are just trying to enjoy life and the freedom's we once had. I know its not possible because most of us are just to busy to organize a rally ( like the lib's do oh so well). Anyways sorry i got off gambling a bit, it just all kind of ties intogether in my situation here in this State i once Loved and now makes me so sick i could puke and ready to move out of here! |
