US legislation and Australian players

[Japanangka]

Has anyone heard anything about the possibility of the US legislation affecting Australian players? The Australian government seems to follow US policy in other matters. I've heard rumours of other countries following suit. Any Australian players out there worried?

No. Gambling is banned in a lot of US states. In Australia slots are legal everywhere. Banning internet gambling would stink of hypocrisy.

no offense but it stinks of hypocrisy here in the america. only two states (utah and hawaii) have no form of gambling (assuming you include lotteries -- although many legislators must not think that is gambling but a tax on stupidity).

In Australia you can gamble on sports and horses in almost every pub. Gambling is just a lot more culturally accepted.
