It's becoming very apparent that the last great viable hope for US players to deposit at online casinos will either be Western Union or by simply mailing a Check !

I just made an attempt to sign up at Click2Pay. Guess their server is overwhelmed. I filled in the first page of the registration form, clicked 'continue', it said 'verifying data' then 'page cannot be displayed'. Just great. Refreshed and it brought up the original blank form. So if I go and do it all again do they think I'm trying to make two accounts? Did any of the info process? Will they contact me? Do I need to contact them?
Screw it. I'm too tired and angry to puck with this chit tonight anyway.

Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?
Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

When I was young, people called me a gambler. As the scale of my operations increased I became known as a speculator. Now I am called a banker. But I have been doing the same thing all the time.

Seems as though another blockage is occuring too. I just tried to register my bank account over at EcoCard and it came back up with this message:

I find this very interesting. Just when our Government stops US players from gambling online and makes sure our US banks cannot get a piece of the action, then this article hits. Amazing how the Corporations can jump in on online gambling while our idiot Government stops its citizens in their tracks for online gambling.
I would think the US banks would be spitting fire seeing the other banks located outside of the US can reap those billions of dollars from the online gamblers. No wonder LV Hilton wants a piece of that with their own bank in the UK reaping the rewards.
LV Sands to Launch Online Casino
Las Vegas Sands Corp. today announced plans to enter the online casino and poker market, with a product initially aimed exclusively at players in the UK.
The project will be a joint venture between the owner of the Venetian, Sands, Palazzo, and Paiza brands and Cantor Gaming, which is already in partnership with Sands Corp. via its deal with the Venetian to be the first casino to offer mobile gaming devices in Nevada.
The site is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2007 and offer all the most popular casino games, including blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video poker, slots, and online poker, and will offer customer age and location verification, online payment processing, and customer service.
The project won't be the first time that a US land-based gaming company has dipped a toe into European waters: Previous attempts by MGM Mirage and the Hard Rock to launch online casinos across the pond proved unsuccessful, as did a similar foray by Playboy magazine. But back then online gambling was not at peek levels as it has been in the past few years esp. with online Poker sites and the ever growing Poker tourney's.
We'll await future developments of the Sands' project with interest.

Great idea! Just more reasons for U.S. residents NOT to get paid if they win anyway! There's always going to be Western Union for depositing because the money's sent to an individual person and the names change constantly to keep WU from getting suspicious, but who wants to gamble twice with their hard earned money? Grind it out at a casino, and then grind it out again wondering if your money will get to you. No thanks!

Who do you think funded (bribed) Senator Frist, Kyle and the others in their anti-gambling campaine? Harras and the Sands that's who!I find this very interesting.

This whole anti-online gambling thing in the US was about cutting off access to online casinos from outside the US and clearing out the competition so the big US companies could move in to the US market without haveing to fight for market share. A bunch of us have been saying this all along.
The US casino companies could not compeate with the existing online casino companies, so the existing companies had to be driven out of business or just driven out of the US Market.
This whole thing has been a perfect example of the US Government and big business working to make each other richer and cut out everyone else.
This all about BIG money and who is going to make it... The Sands, Harras and the US DOJ says its going to be the US companies and not a few small time upstart companys from outside the US.
In about a year or so most everyone in the US will be able to play online legally at US based casinos and you'll be able to use any of your credit cards at those US based casinos... mark my words...
What I wonder about is how the lawyers for the government feel about being used to screw over the American people and as a tool to make more money for US Casinos.
