CC companies not wanting to be burned again, stopped the use of cc for gambling. Since then you can use your own money for online gambling.

This is so hypocrytical!!! You can buy lottery and scratch tickets on every street corner. Now, these are products with horrible odds and purchased mainly by people who can least afford these gambles. This is all heavily promoted by State Gov't.
The US Govt is only pissed cause its getting none of the action.... Just like the above eg, God dam nanny states.... How the few can fuk it up for the many... Its ok, its not your fault your a retard, who can we sue

Its bad here in the UK but as far as gambling goes, LOOL, its going nowhere!!Practically every event has major casino/poker/sportsbook sponorship....
