wisconsin said:As we all agree, poker.com; casino.com, ...etc are some of the greatest and valuable gambling domains to own, but don't you think this new law will greatly impact their value?
The majority of the bigest domain buyers and company investors are from the US and owning a domain like above ones that you can not develop into a real time portal website for people to gamble online is a loss!

Zeeble said:Don't get too worried yet.
The online gambling industry is worth $6billion and the big boys aren't going to give up this easily.
There are always ways of getting around new legislation, and it will happen.
This is an ideal time to invest in gambling shares. Many of the big players have been hanging on which is a good sign.

allroundguy said:Many governments make us believe they propagate freedom, democracy, etc. while they cut every wing, arm and leg to keep us grounded for life.
IMHO the authorities should mind their own business and only put rules that concerns the whole society.
Again, they kill the hen with the golden eggs.
How many industries must more go down?
If people decide to spend their last cent on gambling, drinking, drugs, sex, travel, sports, whatever, it is their own thing until it affects innocent others.
It is not up to anybody to tell individuals what we should do or not, unless we do something that affects others.
Does anybody really believe that placing Stop signs on every corner will decrease traffic collisions?
Fact: Some people are responsible and behave socially towards the community. Some others just do what they feel like in spite of any law and regulation.
As an example: Why must we wear a seat belt in our car? If we don't, how does that affect anybody else but ourself?
Hey, freedom and democracy, where are You?
DN Tycoon said:If you are keen on internet gambling you would know that the majority of ways to fund your account are from overseas companies such as Neteller which is based in the UK and the government can't do jack about that. So in reality this has done nothing and will not hurt the online gambling industry.
wisconsin said:Hello,
Believe it or not, the bill was strongly lobbied by big US gambling corporations who see profit in people coming regularly to casinos than playing online.
Online gambling is creating a decrease in customer’s visits to local casinos which means revenue loss for them!
cosmicray said:not sure if this is true ... Vegas has been SHATTERING
records attendance year after year and is one of the
fastest growing cities in America.
wisconsin said:There was a debate on Fox news about this few months back, and it was said that the American gambling association which is the biggest industry lobby had opposed online gambling...but now they are in favor of regulating it instead after they hired a private consultant firm who did a study about the industry.
