It’s Ironic.
As we in the United States exit eight years of political ignorance, isolation from the World Community and regard for international law, those same fires that we ignited here have finally caught hold abroad.
Let’s hope we can change the direction faster this time and get everyone back on the right course to freedom and personal rights and away from censorship and oppression.
I have only been a casino affiliate for a short time, and from what I have seen so far it is not going to get any better (as far as the government’s involvement). The question was either to consolidate as an industry and take a stand, or move to friendlier countries. The answer is simple, TAKE A STAND. I know, it’s easier said than done. However, I believe the future holds much potential for this industry. Just look at the growth for the past 8 years. As I said before, I have only been marketing casinos for a short time and have a lot to learn. But even I have seen some profit from it and would like to continue doing so for the long term. More importantly, I have had a lot of fun building my site. So my thoughts? Take a stand, and what can I do to help!
Hi all,
I know I see things too simply sometimes but in my mind if I were the casinos I would adhere to the laws of other countries about like i do to those of my own. Do as much as i desire … but don’t put myself in a position to be caught.
I have my own ethics and I abide by them moreso than any laws by any country, my fortune is that the two usually walk hand in hand.
but as to being told what customers I could have … by some country half a world away … I’d say kiss my card dealing, slot machine providing ass.
As much money as is involved … I’d set up my own banking system where players didn’t even have to worry about money crossing borders. The only catch would be that any money won … would have to be spent on things that can be purchased on line.
What would prevent players from purchasing a pencil for $500 and getting free casino cash with the purchase? and then if they won the money would be put into an account with a CC number that can be used to purchase goods and services that are on the net.
there are ways around every obstacle that any country can put up with exception of that country blocking access to IP addresses which would have to include proxies if I understand how this all works correctly.
We see online gambling accomplished thru one means or another all the time. It is really just a matter of how much hassle the casino is willing to endure … as to whether or not they choose to accept players from an certain country.
Its just a matter of who wants it bad enough and is willing to take the risks and jump thru the hoops to make it happen.

Business decisions have to make practical sense and cost/benefit/risk ratio clearly points to accepting US players and litigating if necessary to protect that right of commerce.
I am by no means qualified to comment on the situation but I think things are heading towards regulation.
Affiliates/players/operators just need to more careful and crafty with how they conduct their business.
Why couldn’t every country be like the UK? Very open minded about online gambling and reaping the benefits of so many companies setting up shop in London for example.
Gambling has always been around in some shape or form – it will ultimately prevail
(hopefully!)
