Regulation
The online gaming industry needs to grab the bull by the horns and counter the anti-online gaming lobby. Lets face it, some of the main lobbyists against online gaming are the US land based casinos.
As you can see from some of the rogue online casinos listed on this site, there are indeed some pretty dodgy outfits out there. There are also a number of excellent, publicly listed companies. It only takes one or two bad eggs to create a massive amount of negative publicity. (Kaplin and BetonSport take note) The major online gaming firms need to get together and really come up with some form of regulation. Yes, I know that there are a number of locations (Gibraltar, Costa Rica, Isle of Man etc) that are attempting to put this in place. However, in all circumstances these locations are doing what's bets for their country/locality. The gaming industry is a key part of their future economic and financial stability. In an ideal world it would be nice to see 1 independent regulartory body that accredits, regulates and punishes all online gaming companies. The major players seem to be getting together on other issues (http://www.partygaming.com/images/do...monisation.pdf) so why not take the sting out of the anti-lobbyist movement by proactively going for a decent independent regulartory system?

what are the chances?
what was the margin in previous years in the house of representatives? 317-93 as now? I am just afraid that now support for the bill is higher.
I am still not sure what the bill says about Neteller? Anyone knows? Quote:

No truer words were ever spoken...
The best comment on the law came from Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX... but he's really a libertarian):
[P]rotecting liberty is more important than passing a bill that regulates something on the Internet. The Interstate Commerce Clause originally was intended to make sure there were no barriers between interstate trade. In this case, we are putting barriers up. I want to make the point that prohibition, as a general principle, is a bad principle because it doesn't work. It doesn't solve the problem because it can't decrease the demand. As a matter of fact, the only thing it does is increase the price... H.R. 4411, the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act, should be rejected by Congress since the Federal Government has no constitutional authority to ban or even discourage any form of gambling. In addition to being unconstitutional, H.R. 4411 is likely to prove ineffective at ending Internet gambling. Instead, this bill will ensure that gambling is controlled by organized crime. History, from the failed experiment of prohibition to today's futile "war on drugs,'' shows that the government cannot eliminate demand for something like Internet gambling simply by passing a law. There is still hope!!!

Be positive all you want, but I've personally never "spent more than they should" or "spent more time online gaming than they should". You're entitled to your beliefs, but I'm equally entitled to not want to be lumped in with an "everybody is this way or that way" attitude.

Well, if this passes then I think we need the kitchen patrol up and running for those that eat too much, and we need sidewalk patrols for people who spit too much (which is gross), etc etc...when do you stop telling others how to live in a free society...and it is still free as far as I know, ISN'T IT? I am waiting for the day that we have a bathroom patrol........too funny... when you will be told how to wipe yourself.... because we just might all be doing it wrong and we are really hurting ourselves....
