Enough now - leave gamblers alone!

Frankly, I’m growing quite sick and tired of the ongoing online gaming debate. In the latest shock, horror and hoohah, Congress was able to link a bill regarding online gaming to the latest bill regarding American port security.

Now, according to those in the know, the online gaming legislation added to the port security bill is very difficult to enforce. While it doesn't outright state that online gaming is illegal, it does outlaw the payment of gaming implements through banks and credit card companies in the United States. It does not address, however, the multitude of online payment systems (such as NeTeller) that exist or what can occur through them.

So in my humble opinion, Congress is now happy that they’ve been able to link this bill to SOMETHING, which should quiet those morally opposed to gambling online.

So if online gaming is not outright declared illegal and online payment systems remain untouched – all is right with the world, and we can all continue squandering our hard-earned money online. Which is our choice - not the government or anybody else’s.
