Kenny asked:


In other words, say an internet forum owner who lives in Chesapeake, VA decides to take advertising money, from online gambling sites deemed illegal by the US Justice Dept.

Wouldn’t his profiting from those illegal gambling sites be breaking some federal laws?

It is illegal now for an offshore gambling site to do business with US residents. So, wouldn’t it also be illegal for a US resident to be profiting from the promotion of those illegal sites, to US citizens who post on his forum?

The act was passed Saturday, Sep 30. It prohibits online gambling by placing criminal sanctions on financial institutions and banks if they fund an entity involved in “illegal gambling” operations. Some things such as horseracing and fantasy sports have been carved out/excluded from the definition of illegal gambling, but common games such as poker and blackjack are hit.

I will admit my bias and say that this legislation is crap. The government should not be telling us what we can and cannot do with our own money. They say it’s to protect the children and to stop gambling addictions… there are many other less restrictive yet more effective means to protect children from gambling websites such as universal age-verification accounts (which could be implemented if the government looked into regulation instead of prohibition). As for addicts…. I’ve never heard an addict complain that he couldn’t find a place to gamble his money away. Taking this away doesn’t help the addiction

Hit Puree! asked:


Members of congress are looking at allowing online gambling again, stating that banning net gambling damaged U.S.-European Union trade ties.

My feeling is that if Gambling is allowed in person, I don’t see what the problem is on the net.

What do you think? Should the ban be uplifted?

farzd asked:


So, I am hearing that online gambling is illegal in US, but there are also many sites that are available in legal way for public to gamble. What actually makes them to be legal if it’s illegal to gamble online?

GameMaster asked:


If I were to create a website that sold items in the style of gambling, do you think this would be illegal? I don’t see how there could be any laws online since the website isn’t only one country.

Bob asked:


Should First Nations be allow to continue operating online gambling centers and making duty-free cigarettes? What’s your opinion?

I think that economically, it’s good, but ethically, it’s bad. So I’m half half.
