It is kinda funny though…

Why don’t you think this helps the internet gambling case Professor?
The sheer outragousness of this example shows that you cannot protect all of the people all of the time from doing something stupid.
What this underlines is the need for better protections on player verification and payment methods – and with that in place then the spectre of underage gambling can be reduced or even eliminated.
Also given the “addictive nature” of online auctions – and the fact that it involves payment I think that it would actually be extrememly advantagous to link online gambling to something mainstream as online auctions.
Let’s face it we all know at least 1 or 2 friends who are not gamblers who love thier auction sites – and by enlisting their eyes and ears to understand that what they do is not really very different from what we do.
:dajudge:
I’d promote the fact that the internet is simply vehicle for communication – just like a phone call or a letter – and that online payments are a growing fact of life.
Get the security right.
Get the payment validation right.
And then let people have some Freedom of choice for their interests.
Playing a hand of poker or blackjack …
Or buying a collection of pink plastic flamengos at a great price …
What’s the difference …
(If you get my drift)
