You can’t “totally agree” and then accuse the casino of cherry picking.

Underage players cannot gamble. Period. No winnings paid.
Gambling online when it’s illegal in your jurisdiction must be stamped out too. no winnings paid. Period.
This can be quickly implemented at casinos and sportsbooks by requiring utility bills, drivers licenses and/or passports to be scanned and faxed/emailed in the name of the cardholder. It IS becoming a relatively common procedure for Credit Card authorisation these days.
(at least it is at reliable and reputable sports books that take their role seriously)
:hmmm:
Basically customers may have to prove their right to gamble. The lax approach to this is resulting in the current proposed legislation.
(of course it may mean a brand new industry pops up – providing fake internet ID)
:hehe:
If you don’t like the legislation then stop it. Organise yourselves and make sure that your elected representive understands that he’ll be out on his arse at the next elections.
(of course for this to be true you’ll need to show a ground swell of opinion that Americans consider this a basic and important infringment of their rights).
The politicians are not doing this because the REALLY believe that online gambling is EVIL. They are doing it for publicity and brownie points in their local electorates and states. Politicians are slimy self-serving creatures that will react to mass media displays of outrage.
IF the legislation gets passed then you’ll have two choices :
– IF you don’t like it then move out of the US.
– IF you decide that it’s not that much of a big deal then live with it and gamble at authorised land based casinos.
Good luck.
:huh2:
