Heres the bill, the online gambling starts on page 213.
Up to 5 years in jail for so much as cashing out. ![]() This could be very very bad. Edit: This is being discussed on C-SPAN 2 right now Last edited by nflchad; 09-29-06 at 10:41 PM. |

This was actually said today by one of these retarded fuckers:
"Internet gambling is crack cocaine for gambling. You just click the mouse and you lose the house." If it passes, which it's most likely going to, it goes to GW's desk. So when is the earliest this could actually be passed as law? How much time do we have? Who's withdrawing everything?

OK, I've read the relevant section of the proposed statute and I'm not that worried because of the following: (a) the only person(s) or entities that can be charged under this law are persons "engaged in the business of betting or wagering..." and (b) most "persons" engaged in the business of betting or wagering are not based in the United States. So, since the United States cannot enforce its laws against persons or entities not domiciled in the U.S., they can't shut down poker sites not based in the U.S. This law does not allow the government to prosecute individual internet poker players in the U.S. because an individual player could not be construed to mean a person "engaged in the business of betting or wagering." The only problem I can imagine is if the poker sites overreact to this and start banning U.S. players... however, if I'm their lawyer I tell them don't ban U.S. players and don't worry about this unless you plan on setting up or physically doing business in the U.S.
This is an attempt to "go after" the internet gambling sites and not individual "end users" like us players.

From everything I've read in the legislation forum at 2+2, the problem we're going to be facing is that they're going to shut down the companies that facilitate our deposits and MORE IMPORTANTLY our fucking withdrawals!
So, yeah, you can keep playing but good luck collecting any wins. It'll be just like play money! Sweet! These bible beating, one foot in the grave republicans worried about my fucking family values are seriously making me want to go outside, kill my dog, smear his blood all over my naked body and worship fucking satan.
