Let's just hope the Senate thinks otherwise. Pretty smoothly written language too. If approved, this might be a lethal (legally speaking) approach to some smaller online casinos.

Actually what will probably happen is people will load their credit card in a 3rd party that will pay the casino... there will be some workarround all over the net.Originally posted by rayadp05 -

From what I have heard, the Senate is already saying they will veto the bill when it gets to them.Comment

The language is wide enough to cover netteller and other 3rd party payment systems.Originally posted by Doctor DreComment

What irks me is that everytime they run something on the news about "illegal internet gambling" they always show party poker, and poker isn't gambling.
The gaming industry will survive though. There's always electronic checks, wire transfers, and prepaid cards.sig too bigComment

Veto and reject mean exactly the same thing, and the senate has the power to reject it. There is that easier for you to understand? There was no need to attack my wording........Comment

Exactly. Poker is all about SKILL and Psychology not gambling. I mean... if you are good at psyching out the competition, you win with even the SHITTIEST hands.Originally posted by Lenny2Comment

I read that there have been similar bills like this in the past, for example in 2002 and 2003. They never made it to the Senate, let alone pass the Senate. I really don't see it all happening before November this year. They have far more important things to vote on.
What is a bit weird though is that quite a few Demo's voted yes.. but even then, there will lots of companies that are going to complain and stuff. But I read that even if this bill passes, it probably won't do anything to online gambling.
And banning porn on the internet is even more far from happening.
They really need to stop coming up with those lame ass bills and do something more important. They are not going to pass or anything.Comment

That might be harder to do due to free speech issues. Then again there's all sorts of time/manner shenanigans they can pull.Originally posted by tranzaComment

"The land of the free" - but you are not able to decide what sites you visit and whether you're going to double your dough or find a regular job and pay taxes to fund lame ass bills.Last edited by FuqALot; 07-11-2006, 03:07 PM.Comment

I know alot of professional poker players that would disagree wholeheartedly with that statement. People like Chris Ferguson, Annie Duke, and Howard Lederer for instance.....a good hand will always beat a bluff.Originally posted by $5 submissionsComment

They're trying to outlaw credit card use as the method of online gambling payments. The thinking being it's impossible to regulate gambling on the interwebs.Originally posted by MaddCazComment

Anyway, they don't have anything to fear... in fact, with the BRAND recognition and experience they have I would think they'd welcome online gambling.
