Bush signs bill making internet gambling illegal
 

this was an effort designed to curb online poker and gaming, but where does horse racing fit into all of this

I don't know, they just said that it also affects Neteller also, unbelievable

Incorrect. Bush hasn't signed it yet.

He should within the next two weeks.

but its gonna happen

already heard that alot of sports betting, and poker sites will block US users when in fact Bush signs it in the next couple of weeks

Uh yeah that's a given.

Thank god for the religious right...without them we'd have no moral compass to lead us out of the darkness...please folks, vote in the upcoming election and let these clown know we'd like to make our own decisions!!! And to think, I voted for Bush....what was I thinking?

What was wrong with John Kerry in the first place

Ah, Somer; I ask myself the same thing about you. (SOOOO teasing-- you know I think you're the bee's knees). :) Hey, I spent last election knocking on doors in the pouring rain-- fat lot of good it did my candidate...

GR, i was interviewed by channel 5 after Kerry's concession speech, as rep of the UW young democrats. We were robbed in OHio

Every homophobe in america made their mind up when they saw the picture of Kerry wind surfing.

I just didn't like Kerry...all that crap about him mortgaging his home while he's married to one of the richest women around...I plain didn't trust him, besides he looked like Lurch! Algore? How can you vote for that squirrel? I mean besides inventing the internet...lol! I just hope the Dems nominate someone I can vote for!!! I want Hillary to be the nominee! There are a couple more I could support but she's at the top of my list! Now if the republicans nominate Rudy...I'd have to think about it...I do like that guy!

what about Barrack frostie

I withdrew all of my cash last night and am currently sweating it out until I recieve the funds.

Jerry
I like him a lot, he'd get my vote in a heartbeat but I don't think it's his time yet cause he's not that well known...Clinton and him would be a great ticket though!

Did the same thing and got it through Pinnacle, already got paid, thus a good thing

This is totally crazy.

i just emailed Pinnacle to see what they have to say

Dear Sir,


Thank you for your email.

We are aware of the recent action by Congress to pass the Safe Port Act which includes certain provisions to limit the growth of Internet gaming through the restriction of payments to gaming companies. This bill does not expressly make Internet gaming illegal, nor does it look to target players who enjoy gambling online. Instead, it seeks to prevent online players by restricting the methods bettors can use to fund their Internet wagers.

Oh no! No! Somer, I beg of you; don't fall for the Giuliani hype! I'll find some links...

I wish the Gore who showed up to the MTV Video Awards...

"I actually was not intending to be here tonight, but then MTV explained that Justin Timberlake was bringing sexy back."

... had been around in 2000. Oy. What is it about running for President that turns candidates into two-by-fours? Gore, Kerry, Dole...

Al Gore invented the ozone layer and the republicans want to take it away. Oh the horror!!

from what i read the other day, horse racing is EXEMPT from this bill.

thats whats so great about my guy........ pays or collects every 2 weeks and will go as high as 5 dimes a game. that overseas stuff is salad......

True, but they are talking about on-shore horse racing, not offshore, rebates BYE BYE

correct, the folks at Americatab and their no rebate biz gotta be loving this

So that leaves TVG(cough) and Youbet as the only viable rebate/rewards sites in US?

and they don't necessarily have rebates, they have reward programs that are essentially garbage

Scavs: agreed!

TVG is complete garbage. I bet they raise their fees accordingly considering the news.

Pinny and the others will come up w/an alternative way to transfer funds, I guarantee you. And snail mail is still an option; a bit inconvenient, but with 7% at stake, its worth it.

Do you think your beloved Israel would get the same support with those two?.

Ez

This is so going to backfire on them. More people gamble on the internet then they think and they are not all democrats. I tend to think of myself as a conservative person but this will push me away from voting for people that believe in this bill How stupid can the government be.

The crash in stocks of euro and caribbean gaming companies is a vast overreaction to the passage of this bill and anyone who likes money would be wise to buy low now so you can sell high later.

The idea that you will be unable to move money through an offshore account is laughable. They have driven it underground. Look for new sites set up in the next few days that will take your money and forward it to any site you want.

You won't be able to use a $US demoninated credit card but if you were using a credit card to fund your gambling you were already an idiot.

Chromer i have to disagree. I use a credit card for all gaming transactions, much eaiser to cancel a credit card if they lose it then your back account. Beyond that, i earn cash back on all purchases. it doesn't matter what you use to put funds in your account. As long as you can afford it.
