It could be serious if the Indiana State AG goes after ISP’s, which according to this, he can.
Greetings Ladies and Gents …
My first post here – I have no idea how I found the place – but after 10 minutes browsing here I decided that I’d found a lot of thoughtful people and that this looks a great resource.
:woohoo:A BIT OF BACKGROUND :
I run a sports gambling advisory website … that is just branching into poker and casinos.I’m based in New Zealand (sort of down a bit and right a bit from Australia if you look on the globe) … but my site it targeting Europeans and Asian punters.
MY QUESTION :
I’m aware of gambling restrictions in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore – those are understandable enough (even if a restriction of individual rights) as the Government takes a slice of the legal state run action – and individual rights in Asia are still subserviant to government whim …But I am always surprised to hear that “the land of the free” restricts it’s citizens online … when they happily allow and encourage places like Las Vegas to exist.
Why ?
I’d be interested to hear just exactly :
– what sort of gambling is legal for US Residents,
– what is illegal ?
– do you think that the United States will become more open or more restrictive?
– or are tax dollars and the “moral” implications too much at this stage?
:Nod:Best regards.
Paul.

2. Who knows? The legislature has tried to pass a law making online gambling illegal for years and failed. Yet the department of Justice flexes it’s muscles and scares advertisers and bankers into refusing to deal with online gambling.
3. I think it will eventually licence on;line gambling, establishing rules of conduct and enforcing them on licencees. It will be a great source of revenue for the government. There are other people here who disagree with me and hold opposing views. So – no one knows.
4. Not sure if I understand. We have a far right wing religious group influencing government substantially now. These are not the majority in this country. Eventually, this will change again.

That’s about where my understanding of it was – but I thought if anyone was going to have a clear user friendly interpretation then it was going to be someone like you guys.
I guess that I’ll tread slowly then and make sure that my editorial and promotions do not overtly target US citizens then …
:shhh:
