    I worry about offshore future
    I know of an online survey that had some revealing questions.
    Can't link it, it's not available for distribution.
    however... it appears the states are unhappy to be "losing revenue" to offshore sports gambling sites,
    and that those which are not regulated and become part of the paying system
    (tax revenues) - could potentially be sued (or worse, internet service providers
    be sued for allowing access) - can anyone see a scenario where ISPs are forced
    in court to block offshore gambling ? This is terrifying. All the books we play at were named
    it seems there could be a plan of some sort in political circles.

    Why you think they got rid of net neutrality.. ..

    Net neutrality prevents ISPs from slowing down connections for people attempting to access certain sites, apps and services and blocking legal content. Without the rules, they'll no longer have to treat all internet traffic equally and will be able to prioritise certain websites and services over others

      Absolutely. I thought of it also. You have a level of perception above the average bear.
      This is very serious and can extend beyond just this topic. It is scary. Now that states
      have SKIN IN THE GAME, and LEGAL JURISDICTION over Sports Gambling, they can take ISPs to court and force action. What are we supposed to do?

      Now you understand why I knew legal sports betting was a bad idea. Just like legal marijuana and whatever
      else the politicians and courts grab hold of. Net Neutrality was huge and your average Trump supporter said it
      was meaningless b.s. - will they laugh when their ISP won't let them access their favorite websites?

      Democrats are no better. They pursue additional revenues like rabid fiends.

          Your ISP could charge you extra to go to a offshore site... or block them in your state

                  Here are my simple thoughts on this. Who cares, we will find away around it. May have to call Farmer Tim down at the barn and ask him
                  to take my plays.

                        Virtual Private Network, but I still think you would need a valid Nevada address if I'm not mistaken.

                          There's ways around, but bigger question is how much business the sites will lose with the new competition and whether that will force books to close or consolidate?

                            theyre just waiting they will drop hammer on all sites they dont like whether its gambling or streaming or downloading movies etc

                            wont even be blocking or banning the sites just wont be able to operate like they do now
