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"*. |
