Remember the government and corporations make money off of giving out loans. You pay interest on them. I don't see how people gambling with their loan money is going to hurt the program. They still have to pay off the money and the people in charge get their interest.

If I thought the student loan program was self-sustaining I would agree. But my impression is that this is a money drain program for the Gov. due to defaults on these loans.

I'm not looking to "fix" the student loan program, I am concerned about any failures of the student loan program being used as a weapon against gambling. Based on the prevelence of onine poker in college, this strikes me as a viable concern.
