RESPONSIBLE, LEGAL GAMBLING
In order to gamble responsibly, it is important to keep in mind that practically all gambling, from the player's viewpoint, is just another form of entertainment that is normally very affordable when approached with realistic expectations and a clear head.

Special
Notice to U.S. Online Players
October
13, 2006, President George W. Bush signed the "Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act of 2006" into law. The new law makes it illegal
for internet gambling websites to accept wagers
from residents of the United States and also
for financial services to participate in the transfer of funds from
Americans to the unlawful internet gambling sites.This includes internet
casinos, online poker, sportsbooks, and all other types of internet wagering
except, strangely enough, online horserace
betting. The gambling bill was "back-doored"
and included with the totally unrelated "Safe Port Act of 2006"*.
