Very poor choice for your topic title 
Anyway – to your point. Yes, we all know that the U.S. Govt. regulates stuff they shouldn’t have their hands on. Mainly due to lobbyiests and corruption.
The reason they are banning online gambling, IMO, is for a future legislation which will allow OUR casinos to be licensed on the internet. So that our govt. can make money just like every other govt. is doing by their regulation.
Can you IMAGINE the crowds that will come when the headling:
Internet Gambling Finally Legal
reaches the press?? Also, imagine MGM/Mirage listed in there along with Harrah’s. They surely already have their own sites set up just waiting for this to happen.
The questions is…….
What software will they use and is it publicly traded. THAT’S where the money will be, because thoses stocks will rise like crazy. Get ready to invest.
