If you try it, just don't fly through the US afterwards...the FBI might meet you at the airport. The DoJ seems intent on prosecuting anyone who lets us in the US gamble online. I think the most ironic thing about it though is that we're opening brick and mortar casinos in this country at an astonishing rate. States that never previously considered legalizing gambling are handing out gaming licenses like candy. Just don't gamble from your computer...that would be wrong...

Isnt that much more dangerous than gambling?
Or - maybe to start with the beginning:
where is the essential difference between escaping from life by role play, which takes you for 12-14.. hours a day and lets you lose all social relationships and gambling?
the role player can even answer: I dont socail relations, i get new ones in game, and they are as real as the f+B ones (fnB is my saracastic analogy for B+M... = flesh and blood).
Could be an interesting discussion.

He does not know if this is the case with World of Warcraft, but there is a game called "second life" (I think) where this is the case.
While I've never played any of these games, I have read several articles about some players who aquire "virtual assets" ia successful play and then sell them on ebay. as you can see from this example, this stuff can fetch a tidy sum. I think some of this stuff has sold for thousands.

Key logger maybe? Someone broke thru ur system and was watching you type stroke for stroke.Maybe that was why you were unsuccessful in playing the game..someone was logging on with you and checking your personal information while you tried to play....sounds like you have a security issue with your computer...there are some pros on this forum that could tell you how to clean it up...i would have to get a pro to do it cause it's duhhhh when it comes to actually fixing my computer myself. Best wishes and welcome..hope you can figure out what happened!

Did you check the list of accredited casinos in this forum?
You can feel safe (nearly...) at those places and there are some with instant withdrawals. Go to Simmo!īs site (he is a member here), there you will find them.
btw: welcome to the forum!

I have been using my creditcard on line for quite sometime now too, but not for casinos. This is the first time this has happened to me and it happened while trying to play one of these casinos. If I play in the future I will just use MoneyBookers. I think these on line casinos are bitter-sweet. They seem to be a lot of hassle on the other hand you can play from the comfort of your home. Maybe play less too than if you were in a brick n' mortar casino. At least in the brick n' mortar casino you get your withdrawal instantly and any problems can mostly be solved right there. But anyways I am sure my bank will straighten this all out. I am interested to know who the culprit is!

ery intersting story.
I cant belive that Ruby fortune has to do anything with this. Your data should be safe there.
I have been playing online for 7 years now and use a credit card quite often. Never anything wrong!
btw: Ruby fortune is solid and trustworthy.
