Message: [QUOTE="bustermoves, post: 1011771, member: 23268"] well, ill be the devils advocate here,far be it for me to speak my mind.unless every online poker room and casino suddenly decides to give uncle sam a cut of the take,the days of U.S. players ,playing on line are over....for now.of course thats not to say it wont change,but i,myself wont be getting my hopes up.as any one from the U.S. knows,our government(being kind here)is corrupt beyond belief,hence the nightmare we now have.now that ive been on the phone for 45 minutes,ive kind of lost my train of thought,about where i was going with this.lets see if i can get back on track here..............:eek:.............:confused:.............oh yeah:D......im going to use poker stars as an example,since,as far as i know ,they are the largest poker room out there.as i write this there are currently,170000 plus people playing at stars,and they havent reached there peak for the day yet.imagine the money they are going to loose,when over night there peak drops to 60 to 80 thousand players.thats going to be a severe hit in the pocket book.and one by one the smaller rooms will dissappear.the online casinos, icant say what will happen to them,since ive never seen a player count at any of them,but more than likely, they will suffer the same fate.now you may ask,why,oh why is our benevolent,and loving government doing this to us.the answear to that is very simple.GREED.but who is at fault?is it the us government wanting a cut from the online rooms to keep the u.s. market open,or is it the online rooms refusing to pay to keep the u.s. market,or is it the u.s. players themselves,not reporting or paying taxes on there winnings.or is it just a vicious circle,and no one is really to blame.i, for one,am not qualified to answear these questions.i really dont think any one person can.i dont belive a total ban of online gambling is the answear,its a little too 1984ish for my tastes.for those of you who didnt get that one,1984 is a book by george orwell,written back in the 40"s or 50"s.they also made it into a movie,google it for more info.back a year or so ago,there was a post like this:white man speak with forked tounge.by that ,i mean the government will tell you what ever it is you want to hear,but will do what ever they want.dont belive that?google rico laws.basicly what it says,is that its ok to violate the constitution to enforce the laws.so, bottom line,the uiega regulations are a direct violation of your constitutional rights as a u.s. citizen.they get around that little road block with rico laws.and there you have it ,ladies and gentlemen,big brother is alive and well.
