The government wasn't worry about what you would win and neither was the Europeans who figured they would be taking $100B out of the US economy tax free.

Neither side of the aisle is full of roses as far as I'm concerned. They're all in it for themselves. So be careful.....yours is the kind of briefcase that they love to see left behind their desk....

Isn't this what it is all about TAXES!

Sure, if the U.S. can regulate it then they can tax it, I got no problem with paying taxes on winnings.

But as a side note to the idiots in Washington, for every dollar that I win on on-line gambling, guess where I spend it! Right here in the U S of A, that creates jobs and stimulates the econmy which is MORE than what you are doing. Maybe I should run for congress, NOT I've got to much sense for that.

Yes, they are stupid, because they are too greedy, same as the state lotteries are here, they might had sent some donations , either under or on the table, some heavy donations as they were making way too much money.

They wanted either all or nothing and got nothing.

C est la vie!

There is still plenty of legal gambling.

The European operators missed the boat....The ban would never have happened if the operators had lobbied our politicians and left some folding green on the politicians desks

Panelists at a trade forum leveled harsh criticism at the US, focusing on a burgeoning trade clash between the US and Europe over Internet gaming.

The forum believes that the US could be liable for up to $100bn in trade concessions to European industries after placing illegal discriminatory trade restrictions on European gaming operators.

Sounds more like the Europeans are the ones losing $100B, the US is only going to lose it if it pays them what they think they lost without the US marke... [ More ]

Well, according to the Neocons, $100,000,000,000 is a small price to pay to keep Americans pure from the evil of gambling.

Looks like the idiots in congress and the White House are going to cost us $100 billion for making online gambling illegal. I think it should come out of the pockets of everyone who voted for the ban first. I also have no idea why my previous post on this subject was locked. Last time I checked purchasing online lottery tickets is a large percentage of sold tickets in those countries that do it.
