Seems the US government is forcing gamblers into cash only transactions

[sean1]

For 8 years, I've moved money with bank wires, efts, and neteller. Every one of these transactions have been recorded. I've paid taxes and it can be clearly determined that my intent did not involve drugs, terrorism, kiddie porn, etc.

Now those options have been removed.

At this time, it seems the easiest methods for moving money are 100% anonymous gift cards and 100% anonymous Western Union.

It seems to me that you can walk into a wallgreens or whatever, buy $1000s of dollars in visa gift cards, deposit them into various books in any name you want, provide some kind of ID (Carribean bookies are not coming to investigate fake ones), and cash out under $1000 at a time via WU with a security question.

The gov has actually taken a fairly regulated banking industry and made it 100% anonymous now.

Still harder, more fees than NT, WU fees on the cashout are high,right ?

I believe the additional fees incurred are easily covered by bonuses.

yep it is a self fullfilling,

can't have offshore gambling cuz it can help support terror, then pass a law that makes it possible for offshore gambling to support terror.

next step is to allow online gambling to be regulated onshore

Who and how did Building crumble again ?

We'll never know. That is until NIST releases his final report on the inexplicable fall of building 7; they are about 1.5 year late on their release schedule...and counting....and counting....

Sean, very true.
I am a conservative, and can't for the life of me understand why the Republican party, which is supposed to be conservative, has to make laws about things like online gambling that don't affect anybody but the person wagering. True conservatism is supposed to believe in the government staying out of peoples lives.

I don't know why, and I haven't gotten an answer from them yet, but yesterday I got turned down on a deposit by Bodog on my netspend.com Visa card. They gave me a "300" error message. Something about "transaction recycling".

I had already deposited some money at Carib, so I know it wasn't the card. I just turned around and deposited the rest of the money at bookmaker.com.

I'll let you know if they ever follow up. That's really surprising about Bodog because they usually answer you withihn 5 minutes. I just emailed them again!
