Online Gambling is OVER for U.S.

**ry0t** · 10-03-2006, 05:18 AM

I wonder if anyone made a killing with partypoker stock.

Andy,

I dont think it is bro, it just means that these gaming companies need to look at alternate revenue streams, such as dialers or phone billing

Regards,

Lee

It is not over, there are many ways around it. Just creates another step in gambling.

In the newspaper today it said the law was pretty water tight and that a laywer would find it difficult to get round it, but yea, i agree, it is not over yet.

Tons of digital currencies and foreign countries that people can get accounts in if they REALLY want to gamble. They didn't kill it, just made people go about doing it different.
I would hate to be owning PartyPoker stock right now though.

Lee,

Your probably right they always find a way to get around these kind of things;-)
I just want Americans to get back to what the internet was intended...

The online gambling community in the U.S. was no match for the gaming lobby in Washington. Deep deep pockets there from Vegas to Atlantic City to the native american-owned casinos in Connecticut.

**Validus** · 10-03-2006, 05:48 AM

Is it really possible to stop Americans from gambling online?

Is it likely that the US government will issue its own online licenses?

**AndyA** · 10-03-2006, 05:54 AM

Basically it's that BILLIONS in potential taxes that were lost to overseas companies and the US wants those dollars.

**AndyA** · 10-03-2006, 05:55 AM

and the Casino lobby is HUGE

**Klen** · 10-03-2006, 05:57 AM

This is the end...my darling friend...Well let's make epassporte casino/sportsbook and then noone can know do you gambling beacuse epassporte is not in Usa.

**Antonio** · 10-03-2006, 06:10 AM

how long did the prohobition last? did it stop people from drinking? few years from now it will be legalised and taxed!

**Klen** · 10-03-2006, 06:35 AM

Will see about that.

**KRL** · 10-03-2006, 06:38 AM

Something not mentioned in the news is that the new law also gives the government the right to order ISP's to block access to offshore gambling web sites.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned much, since it opens the door for other sites to be blocked in the future.

**Kevsh** · 10-03-2006, 06:45 AM

Once again, the public gets screwed by corporate interests! Now all those gambling-addicted freaks down there will either move to Canada, the Caribbean or Las Vegas haha

**MarkMan** · 10-03-2006, 06:58 AM

well.. Encrypted VPNs will start showing up more offend on searches..

3rd party E-Currencies will be used more offend.. man this is scary for the US gov..

i started to think.. this can get sooo bad for the US gov.. they will probably loose the little control they do have of the Internet right now.

**E$_manager** · 10-03-2006, 07:12 AM

I still can't beleve it. May be in a time it will be back again?

I did mention that in another thread, and even put it in bold .... but that was coming from me, so ....

Once that technology is well in place, nothing stops them from ....

**GeorgeM** · 10-03-2006, 07:47 AM

shit

i love hazard...cant live without poker

**vod** · 10-03-2006, 07:48 AM

I'm sure that over time the results will be allowed and controled more with some taxes...

If I presented this to Bush, it would work.

run an online casino/betting from with-in the us and pay taxes, but only take us bets and only payout us residents... pay state taxes in the company based state...

the concern for the Federal goverment to do this is coming from brick and mortor casino's from vegas who are watching the money go online.

it will come down to control and taxes before it's legally allowed

**Dirty Dane** · 10-03-2006, 07:52 AM

No more losing money. Its all over
