I thought gambling was illegal...'cept in two places and Indian reservations. US Law isn't it?
Poker games get busted regularly due to this law.
It's weird here in Florida...geezer games at the retirement trailer parks...busted every now and then.
:S

I know Illinois has plenty of casinos... Indiana as well last I heard. There are a limited number of gambling licenses the state gives out tho.

And obviously, Nevada has it, as I am sure many other states do. Its all about the loopholes.

The main reason the feds don't like the internet sites is because like most internet transactions, tax is not involved.

Isn't it just great how gov't spending has gone crazy, we're in a war, people are finding $90,000 in lawmakers' freezers, N. Korea is testing long range missles, and congress is worried about internet gambling, gay marriage, and baseball players on steroids?

What the hell do these people actually do on a daily basis?

Sad day in the land of the free.

I live in controlled environment of Europe, so I can still keep playing if it ever passes.

Bad thing is that probably half of the fish will be gone and it's harder for me to make money playing poker.

Excellent reply funks!

along with:
drug laws
dui laws
prostitution
smoking
I love the way we try to police morals.
We are still a "Nation under God" in a lot of people's mind aren't we?!?
[:/]



More like inadvertently policing common sense. Nonetheless, I find the move offensive.
I mean if online poker players are willing to pay 17% credit card interest on the big blinds, the rest of us NEED DUMBASSES like them to keep gambling!

Whew! For a while there, I felt like a retard paying the $7.00 ATM charge at the Pink Pony last weekend. Now I feel MUCH BETTER.:)

Why do you think dui laws are victimless? I've heard (and not agreed, but at least some thought went into them) concerning the others and those discussions have some basis. But DUI? Drinking is victimless, but driving drunk isn't - it's a terrible choice with horrible potential consequences.

Or are you just talking about the ratcheting down of the 'legal limit' to the equivalent of having 2 beers with your pizza???

...
Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
