Breaking News: DOJ says only sportsbetting violates Wire Act

[Freebetsuk7]

It is very strange living in the UK to hear that you have so much debate and court hearings about gambling in the US.

As long as you are 18 or over,you are pretty much free to gamble wherever you want to,including online.

Oh I agree that is way things should be.
But here in America.. well lets just say we are not as FREE as the propaganda makes us out to be...

[Freebetsuk7]

So what are the present laws on gambling in the US?

As i advertise US Dollars free bets on my website i would very interested to know!

I read about conflicting views all over the internet!

Is it just online Poker that is allowed?

[rm4quads]

So, I see this as a first meaningful step towards actual regulation.

It is time for US affiliates to pay close attention and weigh in on proposed regulation, such as the Barton bill. It is up to us to try and help steer this in a favorable direction. If we were a more organized group, we would prepare to lobby now.

The DOJ statement is not the end all for our troubles. It is the beginning of a resolution.

I agree with this analysis. For those who subscribe to the theory that brick and mortars lobbied to drive out Party Poker and other operators in order to wipe out competition before having the same government (mafia) used to do this turn around and magically "regulate" the market by granting operation privilege via license; this announcement just fits the timeline.

It is not that much of a revelation or a game changer. However, it is a first step toward opening the door to "regulation". It's a signal that they are moving toward regulation.

I felt perfectly safe playing at Party Poker before the UIGEA, it wasn't until the government thugs got involved that it got real shady. Leave it to government to create a crisis so it can "solve" it. They do it for the children, you know. I digress.

I'm looking for regulation in 2012/2013.

[Freebetsuk7]

I think you could be right when you say it could be the first step toward opening the door to "regulation"!!!!

Our government in the UK is very tolerant towards gambling!

It is strange that 2 governments could have 2 totally different views towards gambling!

It sounds like in the US the majority are been dealt with unfairly!!!

Sorry to go totally OT, but do you have to have all that great mass of spam crap in your signature? It's not like it's going to fool the serps one iota.

[Freebetsuk7]

I think it looks pretty in pink!!!!

I am not expecting anybody to click on my links!!!!

Everybody leaves "spam links" in their signature.......or they would not use the forum.....they would use another forum!!!!!.....it is just that mine stand out more because i have coloured them differently!!!!....

But i have toned it down just for you!.....happy now?

@Freebetsuk7
Your wrong.
Not 'everyone' uses spammy (and in your case ugly) links in their signature... just those without a clue.

[Freebetsuk7]

Well if you think it looks ugly don`t look at it!

As for been clueless......if you go to the Majestic SEO website to checkout my best backlinks,you will find that 4 out of my top 5 backlinks are from the GPWA forum.........and i have pagerank 5,6,7 backlinks from other domains but the GPWA Forum backlinks beat them all!!!!!

So i don`t think i am as clueless as you are making out!!!!

[universal4]

Toolbar PR isn't everything.....

....and b ytheway, most people who post here on a regular basis, do NOT do so because of the sig links....it is just a bonus....

Let's get this thread back on track....the subject is NOT about sig links.

[livefree247]

Hi Freebetsuk,

I'm sorry if I came across as picking on you. I didn't intend on that. I am just trying to help a fellow GPWA member..... btw, your siggy looks better now

[Freebetsuk7]

Hi Mrs Pretty,

I didn`t mean you had been picking on me,it was the guys in the previous posts.

Thanks for saying my siggy looks ok now.I did not realize a siggy could upset so many people!

"Only sportsbetting violates wire act",there is no doubt that different people holds different views,i hope that this will lead to federal regulation for online gaming in the US but even if it's just on a state level I'm fine with that too,just as the upstairs,LuckyLizzy said.

In fact,not everyone is suited to gambling, to become a professional gambler winning long-term, in fact, very, very difficult. Most difficult to place, not technology, but rather the psychological weakness of human nature.

You must have a strong self-control, patience, perseverance, but also to have a cool head always remain sober.

[Freebetsuk7]

Thanks for saying that it is only sports betting that violates the wire act!......i live in the UK and we have no restrictions at all on gambling!....as long as you are 18 or over you can gamble wherever you want to,when you want to.

I did have Allyoubet banners on my US Dollar sports betting free bet page,but they made me remove them,and i know why now!

So i should be ok having US Dollars free bets on my casino and poker pages then?
