I'm with Gambleworks. The nature of gambling is to take chances. And that is to except loosing at times. Many people here complain about casinos not being fair because they looses. If everyone wins at gambling then casinos would be out of business?
Hey gambleworks! I think online casinos and affiliates profits from all of this don't you think?

I was just looking at some of the Julie's Gambling Grumbles and it really struck me as to how inept,illiterate or just plain shady alot of these casinos are. They have no idea what service is. They ignore, tell bs, change the web pages when promotions go against them,etc.etc.
At this time, I cannot imagine recommending online gambling (to anyone i like, lol)unless they were shown exactly which casinos are solid. Anyone who doesnt know what they are doing could ery easily be ripped off. I wonder what % of the 1800 or so online casinos are solid.
Please God let the Nevada casinos get online soon as possible!! The H.ll with bonuses. Just let me play somewhere I feel sure is fair!!!!!!!! Oh yeah God, also please do away with all of the sleazoid casinos out there now (although im sure the Nevada casinos will take care of that).

Gambling losses are only deductable as itemized deductions up to the amount of gambling winnings, unless you are a professional gambler. This means that gambling cannot reduce your taxes, if fact, you can lose money and still end up owing more taxes.

Sorry guys, but I'll take the USA over any other country any day, warts (especially politicians) and all. No use bringing up the "issues" of other countries.
As for gambling ... I am surprised the idiots in Congress don't look at this online gambling as a big bonanza for cash.
I have been going to Las Vegas for over twenty years. Used to seem almost like I was doing something "dirty" when I went there.
During the 1980's and beyond, states found out that they could make good money by running lotteries. Then, riverboat casinos and casinos run by American Indians started popping up everywhere.
As poker became more popular, suddenly gambling became more and more a part of everyday life.
NOW ... suddenly Congress decides that gambling is bad???

It may not be that bad. Many non-gamblers have PayPal accounts. Anyone who has used E-bay probably has a PP account.
Over the last few months, I've realized many of my non-gambling friends have PayPal accounts. All of them have used PP for E-bay transactions.
When my CC's started to be declined at online casinos, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to PP. I just didn't want to go through all the hassles.
But if I wanted to play, I needed to join PP. Now that I have a PP account, I use it for many other things besides online gambling. Even if I weren't gambling online, I would still have a PayPal account.
Ecasinos will have to make an effort to get customers into PP. If they can do that, they shouldn't have a problem.

One of the problems is that playing a lot of new and unproven casinos has its own risk above the odds of gambling. When the reliable casinos cut off your bonuses you will be left with only the unproven ones.
Another problem this year is that payments have become slower in many cases, especially the RTG casinos. Last year there were still long waits for your winnings, but at least the credit card deposit was returned promptly.

Casinos operate within a state and therefore under state laws, not federal laws. If a state wants to allow casinos, the federal government has no say in the matter at all.
The federal government does, however, have the power to regulate interstate commerce, which is any commerce that occurs across state lines, which internet gambling does. So they have the power to pass laws regarding internet gambling.
The two faced issue is making internet gambling for lotteries and horse racing legal, not them leaving casinos legal. | | Static Link |

I continue to audit several casinos on behalf of Certified Fair Gambling, taking over the services originally provided by Michael Shackleford. These audits are conducted monthly. I stand behind each casino I audit for the fairness of its games.
I have never audited the games at Hotpepper; they are using the "Certified Fair Gambling" seal without my permission, as are the other casinos indicated in the notice I posted on my page. Because of this, I have no comment on the fairness of the games at any casino in this list. I made several attempts to contact management of these casinos about this issue. I contacted Michael Shackleford about this issue, and he told me this was an ongoing problem he faced with several on-line casinos.
I am continually looking for casinos that are using the seal without my permission; the list indicated on the Certified Fair Gambling website is current.

The proposal has been put forward by No Pokies MP Nick Xenophon, who is concerned the games are rated as suitable for children from the age of eight.
He says the games are a source of complaints to his office.
Mr Xenophon's plan is supported by Mark Henley, from the Inter-Church Gambling Task Force, who says gambling games are shown to increase the risks of problem gambling later in life.
"There is a difference between perhaps kids playing cards and card games and something that is ery much set up to look like a casino," he said.
"Casinos are adult places and anything associated with casinos should be absolutely limited to adults to people over the age of 18."

Vicki,
That is truly a terrible situation for anyone, especially someone who is unable to cope with his problems like that.
Unfortunately, human weakness is as much a part of gambling as anywhere else. You cannot stop people from gambling, if that's what they want to do. Compulsive or not. Long before B&M casinos, people found ways to gamble away their money, and those without computers and who do not go to land casinos continue to find ways to gamble.
Compulsive people will find something to be compulsive about. Lots of people have lost their shirts in the stockmarket and killed themselves and others. Is it the stockmarket's fault?
Obviously, you know that people commit suicide for reasons that have nothing to do with gambling. I think it is more that gamblers are super-sensitive about it, and feel compelled to defend gambling that makes such a personal tragedy into something other than what it is.
