        This is the first I've even heard of "firepay"

        I doubt the policy changes of one company are a good indication of what an entire country will do.

        Canada has always been online gambling friendly, and I know that if people want to gamble they are going to find ways to do it, period.
        Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

          why the heck a country would even consider a ban is beyond me.. imagine loosing billions of dollars in taxes from consenting adults doing what they want with their money..

          you can ban all fun, but people are still going to drink, gamble, get hookers and find porn.. heck.. tax it

                    How would the Canadian gov't be loosing any money on taxes? Online casinos generally aren't based in Canada, and winnings aren't taxable here.

                          I think alot of it is brick and mortar based casino putting pressure on the politicians. They do pay a shit load of taxes and online gambling cuts into their profits.

                                  Now what I dont understand why didnt the land based casinos get into online gambling. I personally would feel more comfortable gambling with Caesars online or MGM online, then some online casino on a island out of government reach.

                                    When you win over a specific amount in a "brick/motar" gambling facility you must fill out a taxation claim form before you get paid. Some will even deduct the tax right then and there if you chose.
                                    Done.

                                        Um, he was referring to adults gambling online and the effects if Canada passes an online gambling ban.

                                                I doubt the policy changes of one company are a good indication of what an entire country will do.

                                                Canada has always been online gambling friendly, and I know that if people want to gamble they are going to find ways to do it, period.
                                                Firepay is big and has been around for a long time, similar to Neteller.

                                                  why would you feel more comfortable?

                                                    Every Casino, Sports Book, and Poker Room I deal with is still taking US players. They are all working on other processing methods.

                                                      Whatever. I've never seen any firepay threads on this or any other wm board, they obviously aren't "big" in this business.

                                                      And my main point stands... that I don't see them being "big" enough to represent government policy in Canada.


                                                      So I'll see your "they're big" and raise you a "Pffffft!" :D

                                                          when they passed the law to ban online gambling, firepay had to let go a shit load of employees
                                                          now if they pass a law for canada
                                                          firepay is done!
