The government should find a "fresh new appraoch" to on line gambling like they did with Lottos. I can understand fully why they do no want us to play. It is because all that money is leaving this country and it is not being taxed. I do not feel that the "on line gaming industry" as it is now, is all that trustworthy as far as running a "square" game and playing as much as I do, I do think the games are being manipulated. There really is no regulation or monitoring of these sites and they operate from countries that do not even care to regulate them. If our government were to set up an "on line regulatory commission" with a license & tax structure along with monitoring the site servers like they do with Weights & Measures... the result would be several American on line sites that are regulated & monitored to the highest degree to be trustworthy. It would also result in millions of players from around the world sending their dollars to the good old usa to play on an American regulated site. I know, I am just brainstorming on coffee but... can you imagine a certain "non profit" organization known for honesty & integrity getting in "at the top" of something like this?
