I love the USA. We are incredibly blessed to be American.
That being said, the payment & funding issues are unconstitutional and a complete violation of our inalienable rights upon which this nation was founded.
I encourage every American who is active on this site to write their congressman, and the senators of their state to stop this madness. Now is the time, one year until the election.
OK, I know we all hate the banks and with good reasons, but, it was wrong for our government to make them the watch dogs. Imagine how much money these banks and all the resources required to continually try to crush the uncrushable.
Remember Prohibition? Well, I don't--but I did see a fascinating series recently on PBS about it. Did we not learn anything from that?
No, but history documentaries strongly suggest that this is what gave birth to "the mob", and enabled it to rise to such a great power by expanding into other lucrative areas such as land casinos, and all off the back of income generated from the production and distribution of spirits.
Unfortunately, those in power don't remember those days either, and so think that they can enforce prohibition on the internet on an activity that is legal in much of the world, and even unregulated in parts. The "mob" in this case are the processors that have sprung up who are prepared to take whatever risks are needed in return for very substantial fees from operators. It would not be surprising if the "mob" have been running a good number of these processors, and have been bribing or threatening those who are tasked with putting a stop to it. They may even be behind the more unsavoury casinos that pop up, like Ministering Angel and Jackpots Heaven, along with a few of the RTG outfits that seem to rely on cheating players to make money.
I have even seen a documentary covering the tricky subject of whether drugs prohibition can ever win, and some were suggesting that instead there should be licensed outlets for recreational drugs in order to kill the illegal supply business through conventional "market forces", and thus end much of the crime it funds. Already "medicinal cannabis" is available in a few states, and it seems pretty easy to get the necessary "diagnosis" from a private "doctor" that gets you the card needed to be allowed to buy it - again covered in a recent TV documentary.
As for US Moneybookers, it only works because Moneybookers doesn't know what the big picture is. If it ever finds out, it will lock the account, trapping any money inside, and it will be near impossible for the player to get it back because they have caused Moneybookers to breach UIGEA through deception.
I tied it to a prepaid debit card. 
Well I low rolled for a while but never got above my deposit. Uggg!
