INDISCRETION RULES....AND IT'S NOT O.K.

Why would a US online gambler want to prejudice payment systems?


Dummy of the week award has to go to a US player at the Full Tilt Poker site, who very obligingly told a television investigative reporter everything he could about credit card workarounds in order to make deposits at online gambling sites.

Mystified players in the US were this week asking why a fellow online gambler would want to compromise systems that enable American Internet players to pursue their pastime of choice in spite of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which tries to prevent them doing so by banning financial transactions with online gambling companies, but does not make online gambling per se an offence.

Was it the result of a dispute with an online gambling company? Perhaps a braggart showing off his or her knowledge or someone in their cups who did not stop to consider the inconvenience that such indiscretions can cause?

Not thoughtful or helpful, whatever the reason.
