So much revenue must be going down the pan.

I'm from the UK we're spoon fed gambling from every direction so I find it bizarre that gambling sites are still banned over there.
Five years ago a friend of mine was unemployed but he was quite a good poker player.
He applied for a business start up grant under a government scheme to help him set up as a professional poker player.
He was successful and got a £200 grant to go playing poker with.
(thats why the UK is neck high in shit now)
