They are just worried about your present location. If you are logging in out-of-state but have residence in Texas, this is allright. At least that is the explanation BetAmerica told me.

The court opinion is amazing...http://blogs.courier-journal.com/hor...t-decision.pdf

This is my favorite quote:

"Gambling has always been addictive, but before the internet, at least the
addicts had to go to the trouble of driving somewhere to place his bet. The internet allows the addict to get his fix 24/7/365, all without leaving the comfort of his own home."

i'm not so sure. this would be like the state saying you had to go to wal-mart, that you couldn't shop from a dot com website.

I dont expect much from the appeal.
The courts will probably outlaw horse race gambling in-person as well than reverse their decision on online gambling.

Yup. It is Texas thats for sure.
I would leave Texas if it werent for its abundance of jobs in oil/gas and medical fields, good neighborhoods and and no state income tax. There is no such thing as a perfect place.

Court upheld decision for the Racing Commission as expected. Texas still on-track wagering only.

Sorry about your Texas issue, Casp. We have our own issues here in Virginia. Can't bet on thoroughbred racing unless we do it online. (Just as well... I just couldn't stand the "vibe" at the OTB. Colourful, friendly characters, but if I can't get a good glass of wine somewhere, I don't want to be there ;-) )

So... here's where we are: We signed up on XpressBet and have been using it without incident since March. Then, all of a sudden on Saturday, XpressBet BLOCKS the account. I called to ask why, and they said it was because our address was not showing up as a legit address on TransUnion. (Funny, it showed up as a legit account when we signed up, and has been legit through the thousands of dollars that we've waged on their site since March).

They asked that we e-mail a copy of driver's license showing the address. Mind you, we have lived in our home for 15 years. If they use TransUnion, then they KNOW the address is legit. Hubby refuses to e-mail a copy of his driver's license to some Internet site which already has his SSN, DOB, Bank info, etc., etc. So utterly ridiculous. We are now researching other TS accounts. (I suppose we'll save a few dollars as we search. Their loss)
