Casinomeister - and others...
I need some thought input here.
I started the FTPBTP forum in the belief that as an American, it is my right to stand up to the Government about what I believe in.
However, I've been getting emails telling me to be careful. My husband has asked me to quit because he thinks I could be in jeapordy of going to jail.....
I'm watching other people slink off and dissappear.
I'm watching others drop out of the communities they have been members of forever.
So - I've been reading and pouring over the law... I've been disecting it... And following the USC trails and every point that was made by the commission.
I don't see any enforcement rules for players but only for casinos, banks, processors - unless you read that it is illegal to make a wager - etc. ad infinitum definition...
So has there been any legal word yet from someone who is more informed than me?
Has there been a set of attorneys to agree one way or another?
Are there any advisements?
Should we - in order to save ourselves from jail time, massive forfeiture or felonious acts - should we... stop playing - stop visitng forums - stop going to gambling sites?
REALISTICALLY?
Does anyone know?
I mean - let's get serious here.
My head hurts from reading all this crap... And I'm a bit worried - cause while I totally believe the US is wrong on this law ---- not making GAMBLING ILLEGAL... But the warrantless search, the privacy invasion - etc... The FREE TRADE issues.... And I believe that I should stand up for that belief...
But to be honest - I don't want to be hung out to dry, either.
SO toss me some conversation here.
