Where do you live, roughly?

My profile is enabled. Louisville, KY.

To the point of the gaming comission....
I guess that I just gamble at casinos quite often and I like the rules they have to stick to. I WANT oversight on that. As much as I dislike gubment intervention in anything this is one that I firmly support. It's federal oversight that prevents people from getting duped. So as far as where I stand - allow any gaming, but keep it fair.

Ever seen a die fall off the craps table? Ever seen a dropped card at blackjack? I like the "eye in the sky"...I can leave thousands at a table to take a leak and know it won't be touched.

I can completely agree with that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Congress didn't make online gambling illegal, they made it illegal for banks to transfer money to or from a gambling company. From what I've read, there is already a work around the new law that utilizes prepaid visa debit cards.

The gambling ban has finally started to affect me. Im sure you're all familiar with the laws being passed that make it illegal for companies to deposit money into gambling websites etc...

Well, at first I figured ya ya whatever, they won't be able to enforce it.

So today I decide to go deposit 50 bucks into my neteller account (which Ive never had problems with before) and its declined. WTF? Plenty of money in my bank, so whats the deal? So next I decide to try and deposit from my visa card to neteller. Declined as well? WTF.

So I notice Pokerstars has an option to deposit directly from visa to pokerstars, nope declined! WTF. Apparently I can't deposit into these sites anymore :(

Im so fvcking pissed right now. Why the fvck does the government think they have the right to tell me wtf I can and can't do with my money. They already taking freaking 35% of what I make, now they are going to tell me I can't do what I want with my other 65%!!!! SCREW THESE FVCKING LAWS, THEY ARE TOTAL FVCKING BULLSH!TTTTTTTTTTTT

Its declined maybe because Netteller is out of the gambling business...
This was news 3 weeks ago.

They're not telling you what you can't and can do with your money.

They're telling companies what money they can and cannot take.
