I cant beleive your Congress banned all banks and credit card companies from accepting transactions from online gambling sites which makes you unable to <A HREF="http://www.littlewoodspoker.com/index.htm" REL="nofollow">play online poker</A>. What a bunch of hypocrites your state government are. They have the largest gambling operations with lotto, keno, etc. If they truly believed their rhetoric about internet gambling they would cut out the state operations also. And now they are bringing in a law to legalise slot machines. Personally I would have a big grudge against any party that stopped me from playing on a <A HREF="http://www.littlewoodspoker.com/index.htm" REL="nofollow">online poker site</A>. I think there must be some way for you guys to get around this problem. Must make you wonder if you are living in the land of the free when it seems the government has full control on what it will and wont let you do.Squirelmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657703.post-17304347720127976112008-01-03T08:49:00.000-08:002008-01-03T08:49:00.000-08:00I agree with the legislation which aims to ban credit cards as a payment method for online gambling of any sort... and i think it should be enforced worldwide – not just in America. In fact, gambling with a credit card should be banned full stop. Not just on the internet. It’s a no brainer when you consider you are placing backing the outcome of an uncertain event with somebody else’s money. Chance and credit do not mix well in my opinion, and continuing to allow it would only contribute further in negatively affecting the high levels of personal debt many citizens today find themselves in. I do however, think that the prohibition won't work; or at least it won’t be received well amongst gamblers - I mean what’s the point in banning a credit card payment made on an <A HREF="http://www.bluesq.com/bluesquare/bspoker/index.shtml" REL="nofollow">online poker game</A>, for example, but continuing to allow <A HREF="http://www.bluesq.com/bet" REL="nofollow">online sports betting</A>? Slightly hypocritical, no? I mean how can you allow someone to participate [with or without a credit card] in <A HREF="http://www.bluesq.com/extratime/preview/long_walk_hurdle_horse_racing_betting.shtml" REL="nofollow">online horse racing betting</A>, but not put any money on a hand of texas hold’em poker? both activities involve a large degree of chance, and neither are guaranteed to yield financial return.<BR/>What really infuriates me however, is that the minority of irresponsible gamblers [those paying with someone elses money!] have now ruined the fun of online betting for everyone else - those like me who pay with money they actually have in their bank!! <BR/>At least for the Americans there is always the <A HREF="http://www.bluesq.com/bluesquare/bspoker/joiningagame.shtml" REL="nofollow">free online poker game</A>s!free poker onlinehttp://www.bluesq.com/bluesquare/bspoker/joiningagame.shtmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657703.post-70938846643707218382007-11-13T08:29:00.000-08:002007-11-13T08:29:00.000-08:00awesome - thats all I can say!
