BAD. BAD. BAD.
It is not right what they are doing to us. They are slowly taking away our rights. Now telling us where we can spend our own hard earned money.
Well one place I still have a ball playing and it is free. Is Gonegambling.com.
Free games, win cash or casino accounts and they keep you advised at everything that is going on in the gambling industry.

Hi petey, Yes I agree with you that this is a bad law and I don't know just how far they will go with it. I saw on CNBC yesterday that the southern district of New York is subpoenaing the records of Credite Suisse and Deutsche Bank because the underwrote the stock offerings of Party Gaming and some other online sites that were traded publicly on the London Stock Exchange. I guess the US government is now going to accuse the Swiss and the Germans of racketeering now. How far will the justice department go. Really i think they have lost their minds.

This is legislation by intimidation. I honestly believe the Department of Justice is on extremely shaky legal ground, but a lot of their goals will be achieved before litigation in the courts ever begin.
With the expansion of landbased casinos, poker and horseracing being exempted from new gambling regulation, the assault on internet gambling expands. Using the argument that landbased casinos are licensed, therefore are in a different category is mindless. If they deny licensing internet gambling, they are making certain it stays illegal to benefit the home grown gambling in the United States.
Intimidation to the level the DOJ is using may in the long run, backfire.
Can you imagine a Day Without Gamblers? If gamblers united, those who go to casinos in their states boycotted them for one day, those lost millions would send the DOJ a message, too. LOL. A Day Without Gamblers once a month would change the face of this issue.
