Update On U.S.A. Friendly Internet Casinos

Date: Fri, Aug 1, 2008 Internet

pokernews.jpg


People still have questions about the legality of adult U.S. citizens gambling at online casinos because of the way the situation is sometimes incorrectly reported by the news outlets.

The answer is, yes, it is legal. What is illegal is the funding of online gambling accounts by U.S. financial institutions. Of course the Federal Government is quite content with misleading information that causes U.S. citizens to think it is illegal to gamble online.

Here's the latest list of online casinos that accept U.S. players with gambling accounts funded by alternative, legal methods.

This is another article about the results of a study condoning online gambling and the rationale behind the study and conclusion.

Have fun and good luck!

Las Vegas Professor Wants Internet Gambling Legalized

Date: Wed, Jul 30, 2008 Internet

University Of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), associate professor, Kathryn LaTour has come out in favor of legalized Internet gambling for adult Americans.

Although her thinking is sound it is somewhat of a surprise here in Las Vegas that anyone who conducts a public forum would endorse anything that may present competition to the bricks and mortar casinos.

Personally I feel that too much protectionism, to the detriment of its citizens, is afforded the casino moguls by Nevada's elected officials at all levels of government.

While it's true, to a large degree, that the gaming industry is Nevada's most important cash cow there is no justification to deny adult citizens their rights.

A perfect case in point is the continued refusal by the State legislature to allow a State Lottery in Nevada. The funds that would be generated by a Lottery are desperately needed and lottery players, such as me, simply go to California or Arizona to buy tickets.

So the State loses money that wouldn't be wagered in Las Vegas casinos anyway and we all waste gas driving out of state.

Here's what professor Kathryn LaTour has to say about Internet gambling.

The Gambler's Blog - 2008-07-29

Bellagio has removed the cap from its lower no-limit games; the cap is not in effect at the higher games. Already, a few players are saying that this move is bad for poker because the fish will lose money faster. While I agree with the reason, I disagree with the conclusion. A standard cap of 100 big blinds is arbitrary; many players were simply used to it. Also, the sea of fish is enormous.
