Switzerland on the verge of legalizing online gambling

[The Buzz]

What do affiliates think about Switzerland as a potential new market? Hey, there's a lot of (potentially illegally laundered) U.S. money in those Swiss banks!

I think calling it a "potential new market" is kinda outdated.

Why say New Market, what was till now, is it possible now to gamble if you are swiss? If yes, why new market. Most people maybe has accounts in gambling sites. New market is when nobody or a very small % has accounts and when you enter for weeks you may make a big boom and reffer a thousands of new customers. Maybe Iran will be smth like this, or Cuba soon.

It's a pity it's already being linked to illegal money laundering. This is one of the things that keeps a dirty stain on the industry and still allows those working within it to shaft or get shafted.

All this legalizing or making illegal is just politics and smokescreens. The bottom line is people that want to gamble will find ways to gamble despite governments and their crank laws.

So the Swiss politicians want to line their pockets with some gambling cream offs - it would appear?
