Hiya: Let me re phraise the question a bit. At Casino XYZ, there is a deposit page. It list all the available methods that Casino has to get money into your acct. This page can been seen by anyone who simply goes to the main page of that particular Casino. ANYONE< FBI, Police, You, the snitch next door, ANYONE.
So, They want to stop on line gambling? You can stop the Gambling, by stoping the Money. They go to Casino XYZ. "Ah ha, this is how players from the USA are getting their money into this Casino". anyone can discover this.
Buuuuuuuuuut, if there were a deposit option not actually listed on the Casino main banking page, and this option was not located within the USA, and thus not violating UIGA, would you use it, assuming there was a direct deposit way to get your winnings?

Here is why i ask. Most of you have heard of the internet game, World of Warcraft. Well before that was the internet game that started it all Ultima Online. A few years after it came out a person started posted the following on message boards.
"Want to get skills faster? Want to make more gold? Then let US play for you. Provide your acct. name/password, and time of day or night you would like us to play, ie. while you are sleeping, and we will log in and do exactly what you want us to do. In return, we get to keep 50% of the gold we made.
Well allmost everyone laughed and said, "Yea Right! You just want to Steal our accounts, and steal all our stuff in the game." But a few thought it was a good idea. So they tried it. The idea worked. More people heard about it, and tried it, and because the person who had the idea to begin with, was not stealing anything, and was totally honest, he had to actually hire people to help him because of all the accounts he had.

I am assuming that on line Casino's that want to keep American players are looking at ALL options available to do this. And as options dissapear, "click 2 pay" as example, they need to replace it with something else. That something else would be, "New", and not have a trac record, and us players would actually be taking a chance to try it out. Would YOU take that chance, or say, "No, the risk of being ripped off is not worth it, i will just not gamble on line anymore?"
