The easy way around it is to use Western Union. And if they decide to crack down, you can always send a Money Order. It may take longer, but if you want to play, then it's worth the wait, agreed

People don't seem to have seen your post, as nobody said anything about it, that is odd.

You make it sound easy being able to do all of that, I knew that it could in some way be done, but you seem to have done all of it in a hurry, I thought that it would take very much longer for some people to start doing some of those things.

I wonder just how you was able to do them, but mostly wonder at your being able to get an address outside the USA and still being on WA, I don't know much at all a... [ More ]

I reactivated my account with Click to Pay and they called me on the phone and said that they wanted to ask me some questions to prove who I was. I thought they were going to ask me the run of the mill questions like what's your pet's name or your mother's maiden name. What was your nickname in high school? You know, information you had given them before the secret questions - but they knew my oldest daughter's name, where I had worked, my address 25 years ago, and 30 years ago.

Then I as... [ More ]

According to gambling911.com Net Teller has announced that it will comply with new U.S. laws banning online gambling. This story came out today. They are kow towing to the U.S. government regulations and would rather comply than pay money for lawyers. Does anyone know where we can get around this?

Thanks to the corrupt people running WA state and the US I already have:

1. An address outside the US.

2. A Visa issued at a non-US bank with funds

3. Order tickets online outside the US

If someone told me I'd be doing any of that last year I would have thought they were joking. I would also make sure if I won at least 60% of my money would not be in the US or US controlled banks.

I agree with eliminating all computerized drawings. Including any online games that are computerized. The only thing that should be bet online is poker and other card games that are played against ONLY OTHER HUMAN PLAYERS!

NOTE: There are several programs you can buy for very little money that you can play Poker at home vs. the computer or online human opponents. It's a lot cheaper than all the money that players lose online on all these blatantly fixed uncontrolled unregulated online casino... [ More ]

All true. A really bad bill all around, quite ill-conceived.

As always, Congress rushing to get away passed another bill that had no investigation except they are spending 6 Billion a year . Now Americans will not have so much piece of mind about where their money is going and who is really getting it. This bill was not thought out at all. It was just an election year thing for someone who will be running for President to be able to say.. I stopped internet gambling . But did he really? No!! He just made the money go further underground and o... [ More ]

Yes, many people won't stop and they can't make them, there are always ways, so long as the online gambling places stay open and become flexible enough.

For lottery gambling just in case, there should also be other way or ways of placing bets.

As to banking, it can't be that hard to open a bank account outside of the USA, Can it?

While at this, Is not there one or more underground internets?

Why can't there be

A U.S. law aimed at cracking down on Internet gambling may drive the practice more into the shadows and do little to deter bettors

It was getting late on Oct. 12, the night before a sweeping anti-Internet gambling bill would be signed into law. Paul McGuire was at his computer, enjoying one last hurrah on PartyPoker, a site that had pledged to kick off all U.S. users as soon as the law left President Bush's desk. It was kind of like that last party before summer ends when you've got to go ba... [ More ]
