Wouldn’t this be a good outcome:
Laws are passed legalizing not banning online gambling while regulating it to only those who have a gaming permit.
Portals owners and the advertising market are free to advertise these “legal” online casinos without fear of someone kicking in your door or worry that your money might dry up any second.
Players can rest assured that they are playing at the same place they went to in Vegas on the honeymoon, not on some crooks server in God knows what country, bound by no laws, free to do as they please.
Casinos can stop bleeding cash by the gallon.
Gov. can collect taxes.
