betting online and your financial outlookReply
Another point to consider is that if this thing materializes what is going to happen to all of that player money in overseas accounts? My advice to an online gambler is to watch how this legislation progresses very carefully and liquidate your account when it looks imminent ... and beat your fellow players to the punch.

Online gambling threatened by U.S. legislatorsReply
The bottom lines is that internet gambling is a billion dollar industry and congress needs every tax dollar they can out of gambling americans to pay for services. In it's very essence it is a form of control. Just like when americans find new ways through technology or advances to save money. You will find a politician introducing bills and legislation to tax that new form. It is just a simple way to control or enslave the masses.-weshar75

What is your opinion on new WA state lawReply
Exactly. Do they really think that the state law enforcement officials have time to chase down people playing lotto online? Hardly. They are too busy trying to catch real criminals and violent offenders. They don't really have time or resources to assign many of their law enforcement people to stop their real work and work on something like this.....it's all political feel good legislation.

Is it legal...Reply
Lotteries are illegal by Federal law. States to have a lottery have to amend their own constitutions or pass legislation to enable them to have a STATE lottery. Any private lottery is illegal.

Lottery law sets rivalry in motionReply
The NC legislation seems vague over what the prize percentages will be. NC will still be competing with all four of its neighbors with lotteries.

Lottery TaxationReply
Arnold Schwarzenegger said it as plain and as clear as one could say it on 60 minutes. Quote: (for every dollar we take in the legislation spends $1.10) Un-quote. Now that's progress for you, taxation with representation.

Florida In The 60's (As In 60%)Reply
Rejecting Powerball is one thing, but a 60% payout? Can a lottery continue to make money on that kind of payout?I wonder if Jeb Bush is pushing an anti-gambling agenda. If he can't get the state to outright shutdown the lottery, chipping away at it with legislation that will make it harder to operate is another way to get rid of it.Makes you go hmmmm. PrisonerSix

California & Mega MillionsReply
There won't even be a stoppage of ticket sales. Either the injunction will be denied or new legislation will be passed to allow the game to continue before it even reaches the courtroom. If either of the polictical parties were really against MM, they would have filed a lawsuit to stop the game long before it ever started.
