#75Hey SBR leadership, are you publishing information that is relevant in order to help your membership understand this legal situation and how it applies to the industry? Do you produce these kinds of articles? I think this would help to clarify these types of situations in terms of how the industry, and your membership is being affected. If you do, could you point me in the right direction, im looking for a reliable opinion.Comment -

#76All this about is seizing a domain name. Nothing else. A lot of stupid bark, zero bite. Do you know how expensive a new domain name is? It's happened before, and may happen again, just to keep their little case in the news.Comment -

#78If we make it legal then we're asking for trouble. We would really think the games were rigged. Keep it offshore I personally feel more comfy. I'm a sports bettor not a casino guy. Fudge the US government don't need to legalize anything.Last edited by Ron29301; 02-28-12, 06:12 PM.Comment -

More than 75 company bank accounts in 14 countries have been frozen
This is US law, or in this case Maryland law. It doesn't apply in other countries. Do you think a US state law has jurisdiction in Europe? So I would strongly doubt the accuracy of that statement. Be sure to ask those mighty Maryland prosecutors in which 14 countries they froze those bank accounts.Last edited by Dark Horse; 02-28-12, 06:30 PM.Comment -

Kyl and Goodlatte co-sponsored previous legislation and tried to get it passed and were unable to do it. Therefore, they attached the UIGEA to the back of a 100+ page port security bill with the help of senate majority leader Bill Frist at the request of some religious nut whose son killed himself after losing all his money playing online poker.
If the democrats weren't so terrible, perhaps this would have been enough for me to switch to the other side. Unfortunately, there is no reasonable alternative with the democrats being so inept.
I'll never send another red cent to any political organization thats for sure.
Its also important to note that the democrats (Barney Frank) promised to overturn it and had 2 full years where they had total control of government (enough power to pass ObamaCare). There wasn't even the slightest discussion to overturn UIGEA during the first 2 years of the Obama administration.
The democrats don't give a shit about allowing Americans to gamble either.Comment -

#90As I said in the other thread, if you read the statement they are referring to to the poker sites that were seized last year: "The indictments follow federal prosecutions last year of three of the biggest websites involved in online poker. More than 75 company bank accounts in 14 countries have been frozen, and authorities are seeking $3 billion in fines and restitution, in that investigation."

#93haha I thought about that earlier this morning when another poster made the same mistake... was this little snippet included in this article in a sly attempt to capitalise on those who might not read every word or be that familiar with the particulars of the poker cases? It's pretty shock and awe and I'd hope whomever wrote the initial piece threw it in there just to beef up their Bodog article but it does make me wonder a bit. I'm probably just being too cynical though.Comment -

This story is intended to scare people away from online gambling. US has no legal power against Bodog. Publicity does have power.Comment -
