I think this might be in the correct section? (LoL)
Here is my point. Big brother here does not want more people going into debt or getting addicted to gambling. Makes no sense. You can consume as much alcohol as you want and CHARGE IT on a card. You can go to your local casino, lose thousands, use you credit card to get the money. You can bet on the horses and in a few states, bet legally on sports etc. You can spend the rent money on the lottery, that seems to be alright.
The examples are endless but I can't bet a few hundred dollars over the internet? A woman can spend thousands of dollars via the internet (credit cards) on clothes but I can't wager $20 on red? I'm venting, work with me fellas.

It amazes me too Ken
I have family in Washington and Arizona "the land of the free"
And when I tell them about it online they are like you, mad as hell they cant spend their over taxed $$$ how they choose
The usually trek up the I5 to some casino
We used to trip to Reno/Lake Tahoe all the time. Vegas a few times too. but now they keep it "local" within a hours drive or so
I have no need to go to a B&M Casino ever again, and I used to love it
I have my laptop and Im set for the day/night whatever
Maybe one day when "they" stop takin backhanders ure catch us up :thumbsup:

Hmmm The good ole US of A apparently not the golden land of opportunities anymore. ::)
I am so stunned and anxious about US government that it'd be better if I do not voice up my protest, otherwise I'd end up like Osama :-X
