Hi, Dave. Great site, btw. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not a technical person, at all, but that's my understanding. I don't think you can really keep people from visiting the sites they want to visit.

As far as Neteller is concerned, they may say banks can't transfer money there anymore. "May" - I don't think it's a foregone conclusion. After all, Neteller is not a gambling site itself, and - supposedly - you can do other things with Neteller, besides gamble.

Even if they do, though, I can't but imagine Neteller will just change its name, or its domain. Or Firepay, or another company will take over. It seems like it'll be easier for them, than it will be for the Feds to keep up.


Anyway, and on a different tangent, all this talk about "banning" internet gambling, as if it were something new, misses the point. The US has always regulated, taxed and licensed gambling within its borders. And, as a matter of law, it has an absolute right to do so. The only difference is that the internet makes it much harder for them to do it.

Before, if somebody set up an unlicensed casino, the police would just bust up the joint. Now, the joint is in Gibraltar, and the police can't get to it. And, because of the internet, they can't keep us from getting to them.
