What the sites plan to do about the S.627

[HUSKER'66]

Is there an echo in here??????? Good to know that Homer ignores my posts [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] One thing is for sure, for the people that don't believe me, they have to believe Mr. "Carpal Tunnel" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hi asteroid,

I will only make fun of your English if 60% of your posts are deleted by the moderators, and the rest are incomprehensible.

Otherwise, by all means keep posting. Funny comment about the trained monkey affiliate.

the catch is the federal wire tap act, which prohibits sending transmissions across state lines for gambling purposes.

This is also not true. The federal Wiretap Act only prohibits internet SPORTS gambling.

If a Vegas casino offered online blackjack, roulette, etc. on the internet, it would not be violating any federal laws. However, it would probably be violating the STATE laws of all 50 states.

This is probably a technical legal point of no consequence, but I just wanted to set the record straight.

Here is the Gaming Club's latest response:

Hi there jek,

Thank you for e-mailing The Gaming Club.

Kindly be advised that we have not heard of the S.627, would it be possible for you to elaborate on this for us, so that we may investigate this matter for you further and respond to your query.

We thank you for your interest shown.

Should you require any further assistance please feel free to contact us. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your convenience.

Kind regards,

Lisa

lol, and True CEO thought "I would guess almost every major gaming site is well aware of the proposed legislation." I guess not eh David? (That was a great post David and I'm not knocking it, I just found the timing rather funny.)

My response to the Gaming Club:

Hi Lisa,

For all the technical info you should go to http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/leg...ative_home.htm and run a search for S.627. If you want commentary on it, please go to www.twoplustwo.com and look on the Internet Gambling forum. I hope this helps, and I look forward to hearing your reply,

Will they actually go through the effort to read the provided links? Will someone from the Gaming Club show up here and show us they care? I can hardly wait to find out.

Jason Kirsner? Now I see where Jek comes from. Middle name Edward? Plus are you sure Gaming Club qualifies as a major poker site? I am not sure having never played there myself.

[jek187]

Didn't really need everyone on the net knowing my full name although I doubt it'll do much harm. I'll keep my middle name a secret though [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Gaming Club is on the Prima Network, which is #11 on Poker Pulse. I believe they also have an online casino, so maybe it doesn't qualify as major, but at least a signifigant site.

If Jerome deigns to tell us the right name in due course, all those who pick it get to play in a Tournament against the man himself. Prizes to be announced. (No cash alternatives.)

I think it is great to find out what the sites plan to do about the bill, assuming they are willing to tell you and play their hand "face up". However, it is somewhat akin to asking a bar what they intend to do on the eve of prohibition. The real problem does not lie with them, it lies with us. We elected the people who are passing these laws. We have the power to stand up and let them know what we think and how we will vote in the next election. Instead of blaming those who do not want to publicly declare their intention to flout the law, we should be working to preserve our freedoms. When the people sit idly by while their freedoms are eroded, they deserve whatever they get. Contact your congressman, get involved. This is OUR government and it exists to serve us, not to rule us.
