Chat with BetOnBet Support Staff concerning legislation

[DiabloVt7]

Thanks for contacting us. An operator will be with you shortly...

[BetOnBet] Hello, and welcome to BetOnBet! My name is Christoffer, is there anything I can do to help you...? (I understand English, Norwegian, Swedish, German and Danish by the way)
[Visitor] hello, rumors are being spread on the poker tables that BOB will block all american customers tomorrow?
[Visitor] i was under the impression that BOB is staying
[BetOnBet] it's not final yet
[Visitor] so is there a chance i will be blocked out of my account tomorrow
[BetOnBet] blocked from playing, maybe. If you are worried about your money they will not be "stolen" if we in fact block u.s customers from playing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
[Visitor] the newsletter i was sent from BOB has differing opinions
[Visitor] maybe they are just telling the custoemr support staff to give that response?
[Visitor] just to make sure no one gets upset
[BetOnBet] we will send out a new newsmail when the desicion is final
[BetOnBet] no they are not just telling us that
[BetOnBet] I appreciate your concern, but we are not planning on seezing any funds.
[BetOnBet] seizing
[Visitor] well hopefully your directors will have good business sense and stay considering pokerstars and fulltilt are staying
[BetOnBet] yes
[Visitor] ok good becasue i deposited $500
[BetOnBet] that's why it's not ifnal
[Visitor] pokerstars had immense legal counsel
[Visitor] yeah
[Visitor] i need 2 move to UK
[Visitor] you are a lucky person
[BetOnBet] hehe
[BetOnBet] Write to your congressman [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
[Visitor] lot of people ahve
[Visitor] they respond saying
[Visitor] "money laundering, drug trafficking, and terrosists are funded via online gambling"
[Visitor] morons
[BetOnBet] lol
[Visitor] it will be terrible if you guys leave the USA market
[Visitor] whoever is available to USA players will make tons more money
[BetOnBet] Yeah well. I guess online poker is a serious threat to national security and needs special attention by congress. It's much more important than lets say, poverty.
[BetOnBet] or health care..
[Visitor] they say it is wrecking the average american family
[Visitor] because theya re playing $20 SNGs
[Visitor] lol
[BetOnBet] Anyways it wont do much good to block u.s customers from playing if they are afraid of osama bin laden funding his rocket budget with poker money
[BetOnBet] politics....
[BetOnBet] I guess banning gambling gets more votes than campaigning for it ..
[BetOnBet] also puts your name on the political map
[Visitor] yeah
[BetOnBet] well.. We'll see what BoB decides in the end
[Visitor] america sucks
[Visitor] well if they are smart they will see that the laws will not affect them as much as people think
[Visitor] and they will make millions more if they keep USA
[BetOnBet] I'm sure it's being considered
[Visitor] and give you a raise
[BetOnBet] lol yeah!!
[Visitor] lol ok thank you chris
[Visitor] ok i will see you around, good luck with the pay raise
