Issue #134
weekly
Dear Readers,
When it comes to online casinos, there are two things that really irk me. One: casino managers that don't care about their players, running their casinos in such a substandard way it would make your head spin. Two: players who think that I am stupid, and submit phoney screen shots trying to claim that they "won" a jackpot. Give me a break. Two low points of the industry, but I'm afraid it's something we all have to live with since these two things won't go away. Dishonesty and greed. We got both this week, and these I'm covering in this week's webcast here.
But on a brighter note, I'm frantically trying to get ready for my trip to the Bahamas. I've got a bit of updating to do, and this is the first weekend of Advent! Christmas is upon us, oh no!
Panically yours,
Bryan

COURT DECISION FAVOURS INTERNET GAMBLING
Debts have to be paid
Seriously good news on the legal front this week came from a federal appeals court in Louisiana, which upheld an earlier dismissal of a class-action lawsuit by people who lost money gambling in Internet casinos
The case could even help to legalise Internet wagering in the USA. Three judges of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld a district court's dismissal of a lawsuit by gamblers Larry Thompson and Lawrence Bradley, saying the gamblers failed to prove that online casinos and the credit card companies they used to process their wagers violated federal racketeering laws and the federal Wire Act.
Some thirty-three virtually identical cases had been transferred to the Louisiana district court through multi-district litigation and the cases of Thompson and Bradley were selected as test cases and consolidated for hearing within the framework of the 1961 Wire Act as the primary law involved. In August, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to Nevada's state Gaming Control Board stating that, in its view, the Wire Act also applies to casino-style gambling on the Internet as well as for sportsbetting at which it was originally aimed.
The New Orleans federal appeals court decision reported here disagreed with that interpretation.
"The district court concluded that the Wire Act concerns gambling on sporting events or contests and that the plaintiffs had failed to allege that they had engaged in Internet sports gambling," the panel wrote. "We agree with the district court's statutory interpretation, its reading of the relevant case law, its summary of the relevant legislative history, and its conclusion."
The ruling may leave open the possibility of legalizing non-sports Internet betting, such as traditional casino-style games of chance, in states that approve it, supporters say.
"In 1961 I don't think legislative intent could have included the concept of playing casino-style games over phone lines," Keith Furlong, deputy director of the Interactive Gaming Council, is quoted as saying.
Widely respected internet gambling legal expert Tony Cabot says that "Ultimately the laws are interpreted by the courts. As you get higher appelate courts making the determination of the Wire Act applying only to sports, it makes it more difficult for the Department of Justice to sustain its position."
