It’s funny how customs change from place to place.
Here In Canada, we’ve had video-lottery terminals in bars for as long as I can remember and they help keep many of the smaller ones going. It’s funny that a coalition of club owners would position themselves as the moral guardians of grown adults. If they really want to tackle ‘compulsive behavior’, maybe they should make sure that alcohol too is banned from their clubs

The key thing here seems to be the “Gamble on Credit” phrase.
The inference seems to be that by using your credit card over the internet to make a deposit opens up a whole new problem for gamblers …. as opposed to those that go outside to the ATM and use their cards there to get money to play the slots ???
:roflmao:Unless people are going to get moral on the whole idea of Credit Cards (and given the US financial turmoil that might happen) … it seems to me that this whole argument is bogus.
:sarcasm:its probably TAB having their hand in the cookie jar and pulling all strings possible to prevent newcomers. they are so cocky that their affiliate program is offering $20 per player. hopefully not for much longer…

:sarcasm:It seems here is Australia they love to use the credit card angle (I blame Today Tonight – a current affiars program) when its rather obvious to most people they are just trying to maintain as much control as as big a slice of the pie as possible.
