QUOTE “I look at this situation as if I was on a gambling addict list in a land based casino, do you really think they would tell me to empty my pockets before I walked out the door? Hell no and that is exactly what is going on here” BONUSGEEK

“A big difference indeed. With a a land based casino, I can walk up to the counter and cash out my chips and collect my winnings, while online gambling players put 100% trust in casinos to do the right thing and pay them when they win.” BONUSGEEK
“I can also tell you that people with gambling addicitions at land based casinos, in my state, do not receive winnings. If you lived here, had a gambling problem your name gets put on a “do not allow” list. That list is run through all the casinos in the state. If you are not stopped at the door and not allowed in, security is not always present at the door to card all, and say you start playing and win, when the attendant comes to pay you and ask for your id, thats where you are stopped. You would also not receive the funds you put into the machine, nor the winnings, and you are ushered to the door. I know this as I worked in a recovery center and sent those letters out and took many calls to verify problem gamblers. That ofcourse does not stop one from leaving the state to play, but there are reins put on addicts locally”
