Thanks for posting this link. Interesting indeed. Especially:
Frank Catania, former director of gaming enforcement in New Jersey and president of Catania Consulting Group, calls the law “a sham” that won’t stop online betting in the U.S. “There are so many alternate means of payment that it is not going to stop what is happening here,” says Catania. “We are going to be spending a lot of money for enforcement, and it is going to be worthless.” Enforcing the act will cost about $2 million between 2007 and 2011, according to a May 26 Congressional Budget Office report.
There is a poll linked to that article as well. There are 3,000 votes right now, and 93% of the respondents think that online gambling should not be illegal.
Isnt frank catania a director of eCOGRA?
