FYP...SNC is a defense subcontractor...

My own cross post from other thread on same topic . Should have read this thread first ...

Arnold Rothstein was right, In America the only thing that counts is money. In this case money to buy politicians. Graham would introduce a bill outlawing bacon if Sheldon told him to.

I hate our government system and what it's become. I hate this Adelsen. And I hate Dianne Feinstein. Whenever control of other people comes up, that ugly ****ing troll of a woman's name seems to appear supporting it. I wish I could challenge her to some kind of IQ test against some of the poker players, libertarians, 2nd amendment advocates or others she tries to bully with her childish arguments and let them utterly embarrass her. I seriously hate her guts.

This is today, and vegas residents going to check it out?

Mr. Adelson’s political prominence will be on display today in Las Vegas at the start of the four-day Republican Jewish Committee meeting — an event that has attracted several 2016 presidential prospects, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.

Seems we are going in the wrong direction here. This whole ban against gambling is asinine. Any 10 year old kid can find all the porn he wants on the internet but congress must stop this evil gambling. What a joke. In fact, all those politicians are completely corrupt and self-serving. Every one of them has been bought and paid for many times over. Why people in this country continue to vote is beyond me.

Why LOL?? He is exactly right. This country is far from free. The politicians who get elected buy those seats. Your vote is influenced by how much money a candidate can spend. You may not realize it, but its true.

If you think our country is still a democracy you are incredibly naive. It is way closer to a corporate oligarchy.

I guess not everyone on the Sand's Board of Directors opposes online gaming.

"Sands board member becomes online gaming company stakeholder"

Mr. Ader needs to talk to Adelson about the benefits of this industry.

As long as it doesn't effect bovada/acr I could care less. I live in central jersey ( somerset county) and have no interest in these new NJ sites. Why lose 30% of your winnings to taxes for no reason? Let these clowns ban it for all i care. It will only strengthen the black market sites like bovada and others.
In the mean time, all is well in NJ on party poker. We have a whopping 394 players logged on at this very moment.
But seriously, this **** adelson will be dead soon enough. And online will be nationally regulated hopefully. When we have adequate player pool/poker economy we can start taking it more seriously.

Uhh, you're still supposed to be paying taxes...

Feinstein is against anyone anywhere having any fun anytime.

no.

If they amend the wire act to apply to online poker I'm guessing you could be charged with a federal felony

In the early 2000s, Venetian Interactive obtained and held an online gaming license from Alderney. However, that activity fell b the wayside in the rush to capitalize on Macau.

Governor Sandoval (R-Nev) has called it anti-States' Rights. I have not seen anything from Joe Heck or Dean Heller.

A usually reliable source, who I WILL NOT name, told me last week that Harry Reid might work with Graham to pass the Graham Bill so long as Nevada was protected ..... not sure what that meant as it could range from a grandfather-in to a right to pool internationally, to a right to offer only poker and to do it nationwide .....

Do not think for a minute that Nevada would not leap to support

1. a poker only bill which
2 grandfathered in ONLY those States already operating online poker,
3. provided them with an opt-out access to other States and
4. a free hand to pool overseas

By pooling support with Graham et al, and tossing casino under the Wire Act bus, Nevada/NJ/Del. could effectively pass a poker-only federal bill, limited to "grandfather States + opt in States"

Not sure that Sheldon Adelson would have an issue with that either .... as he once hed an online gaming license thru Venetian Interactive.

Here is the relevant part of section 5362(1)(E) of title 31:

And of course...

yeah, somebody run up and baptize him!

It's only ok if some guy who's great grandmother was 1/4 Navajo, who went to the same schools and had the same opportunities as everyone else, and basically grew up as a white kid, is getting profit from it.

That is too broad of statement. If the republican is also a Libertarian, then online gaming might flourish!

go Hillary......

I am happy to see the contempt towards politicians and governments increasing. We are taking some steps in the right direction. Stop thinking of how we can work with them, and focus on figuring out how we can eliminate them from our lives.

Someone in this thread brought up how easy is it for a child to find porn but is it that way due to lack of regulation and no strong age verification?

It doesn't have to be that way with online gaming.

Regarding how to fight this war, the ammunition is money so the answer is to donate to a PAC that advances our cause.

Interesting post given your screen name.

Found update pages for the two bills here:

H.R. 4301: To restore long-standing United States policy that the Wire Act prohibits all forms of Internet gambling, and for other purposes (Sponsor: Rep. Jason Chaffetz [R-UT3])
