In the laboratory.
Just wondering if this crackdown has affected programming on the sports channels. That could make this action all worthwhile!

as I recall the crack down was initiated by the crappy age verification and identity verification.

All you needed was a CC number and you were in.

In fact I have cousin who's son was playing as a young teen and was up.

Long story short he he went down and down big.

His parents made good on the money.

Also gambling is not legal in many States.

Was this crackdown initiated by politicians or bureaucrats ?
Does it matter?

Looks the they steal a playbook from the IRS when it comes to cracking down "small flies" like those online gamblers, not criminal bankers or those well-heel tax cheats when the latter group have armies of tax accountants and lawyers and more importantly, money to burn sustainably to put strains on taxpayers money and outlive those populist politicians terms in the office. No? :rolleyes:

I don't know if I'd call online gambling a small fly. Huge amounts of money pass through those sites every day. They may not compare to Goldman Sachs (then again, they might) but compared to real people, they're big business.

Yes it does, i'm curious as to who started this whole thing and wether it's a political issue, or simply something that has been in the works for awhile.

And they are not small, the amount per person they earn may be minimal but they do massive amounts of transactions everyday,and that adds up.

Could be they prey on the least of the common denominators
