    Yep, while online gambling is illegal in the US other non-US companies are sucking in your hard earned US dollars letting you gamble on their sites illegally and making the US weaker and weaker.

But it's good to have someone as high profile as Trump at least talking about online gambling even if nothing comes of it... if he can't get some discussion going, then almost no one can.
    Yes it does all seem somewhat screwed up looking at it like that.
    Fact is the pollies have nfi and aren't sufficiently educated to differentiate between the various forms of gambling.
    But I for one am happy to see online casinos banned. All the stats point to pokie machines in particular being the prime cause of "problem gambling".
    Quite clearly poker is a game of skill and providing the operator isn't cheating then I have no problem with online poker being allowed.

    Legal online casino gambling would be the down fall of United States. Picture Back to the Future II where biff runs US.
