I really think that arguing the skill factor is a complete waste of time. After all, what skill is involved in a lottery?

Skill is a ruse that politicians hide behind. The real determining factor is raw political power. When online gaming gets to the point where politicians see more benefit in supporting it than banning it they will sudden have a revelation (like they did with lotteries) and see a reason to vote for gaming.

We just waste our energy even arguing about skill until that point - its just a deception that politicians invented.

Many states outlaw only games of chance. If we prove our game is a game of skill in a court of law, we'll significantly improve our standing. You may want to read some prior threads about this topic, as we've discussed it once or twice before. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
