Well, I made the following comment about this article at WOL:
The odd thing is that there is no federal law against online gambling in the US. There is a law against sportsbetting over the telephone. That’s it. They have tried to pass a law for years but not gotten the votes they would have needed. Now they have gone rogue – blackmailing advertising companies into stopping to carry gaming ads. So far all of the advertising firms have quietly rolled over – but soon one will stand up to this bullying and we will have a trial and a precedent and a law – whatever it will be.
Anything is better than rogue harassment of people who are in compliance with the law. We all have the right to advertise here in the US – it is covered by the free speech laws. It is an unalienable right in the US.
The first company to stand up for its rights can count on very wide spread support. The rogue actions will be stopped eventually – the people of the US do believe in justice and the law. The people who commit these rogue acts are taking away millions of $ in taxes from the US population, driving gaming financing and advertising underground in the process. Crime will thrive if we allow this to happen. It is a shameful situation.
