APCW Reports: Truth Behind the Online Gambling Ban

[qbert1345]

how difficult and CHEAP to start a check like a credit card, issue a magnet strip card with small biometric fingerprint reader (extremely cheap, does not collect actual fingerprint database but a unique combination of "dots" and works extremely well - eg. built into all my lenovo's) a little upgrade from the cards the casino's use now. subscriber based, up the hardware security against most (D)DOS and time it for a physical finger scan to keep bots down? my 12yr old son can code it.

[BobbyFischerQc]

I was inquiring APCW to know if it was a good association, but I'm in, this video really rock

[alex777tm]

Interesting, when it will be regulated in the US....

[str8lagger]

It doesn't matter what they Government thinks about gambling being a problem it would protect families more for it to be regulated but the Gov't has no right to strip us of our rights and freedom's.

[loncummings9242]

Very cool video.I will vote for it!

[paulp1021]

Bill Frist is the same asshole who said he can make an accurate diagnosis of someone by just watching a video regarding the whole Terry Shiavo fiasco that took place several years ago. Most folks would call these fake ass Christian politicians like Frist a "Hypo Christian".

[opossumland5]

im pro freedom and pro gambling however it is not the pro family gang that attacks second amendment rights and just voted in the house to give the FDA the power to regulate tobacco which is backdoor prohibition. Actually when government takes your freedom away it is always bipartisan. The online gambling was passed by a bipartisan vote just like the FDA tobacco bill passed with bipartisan support. If the tobacco passes senate thank God anti prohibition will veto it.

[opossumland5]

lets ban tobacco, alcohol, repeal first amendment ie porn or anything that may offend somebody, repeal second amendment, ban all gambling not just online gambling, ban abortion, seatbelt laws, lets ban trans fat. If there are any other freedoms, rights, liberties and choices that you can think of let me know we must try to take them away as well.  Look we owe our children a freedomless country with no rights and choices.

way to protect las vegas and atlantic city

[dan020350]

what happen to our freedom and liberty?

[Whoo69]

The Online gambling ban is a joke. How the fuck can you actually ban something like that on the internet?? You'd have to have the NSA monitoring everyone's Internet activity or something like that. It's just not possible! Lots of people do it anyway regardless of whether it's illegal. And what is the punishment? 5 years in prison? 2? 100 days?

[Musicmanray]

Gambling is a bad thing period and this is coming from the mouth of a person who didnt miss a week at the casino in 3 straight yrs. We know the crooks are only interested in themselve's! Heck why do you think they allow tobacco? so they can collect the tax off it then right around retirement time it kills alot! meaning no social security needs to be paid,lol

[Timm72]

They have good reason to ban it, see when you earn as much as they do, you don't need to gamble to have fun!

[figifool69696923]

Yeah, politicians do suck, and they can also suck my balls because i'm playing on full tilt poker right now

[Hopefl1]

It is called bend over and let me see how many $100's and can stick in your ass.

[BurningPlanet]

I liked it. Exposing these people must be a full time job but I'm glad someone is on the case. I'll support it as much as I can.

[PlayerPuppet]

Yep, politicians suck.

[djronniebruno]

Greedy politician puppets

[kajamix]

it's all about taxes.

if you accept state monopoly but insist upon campaigning in favour of fair prices they kick you down the stairs.

[lotteryjerk]

Isn't it ridiculous that the "Land Of The Free" has these kind of restrictions?! Oh well, e-Play is coming and it gets around this stupid hypocrisy!

[Catt001]

Well you certainly did your research... I can't say I'm that big a fan gambling in general but I applaud you for calling them on their hypocritical actions. I suppose we should expect this though... they ARE politicians... telling people what they want to hear is how they get elected

[vik110]

LOL!!!

[HUD099]

Lets face it .If you gamble you will more likley to lose.Yes these Politicians are hypocrites but I also dont like the gambling industry.

[sabesin2001]

but you aren't likely to lose at the lottery or horse betting?

[BurningPlanet]

Skill is involved in some of the games. IT is called percentages. And even when people lose cash fun was had so to me that is the same as spending it with some other time waster.

[SecondlifeCasinos]

How comes gambling on the stock market hasnt been made illegal? How comes business has not been outlawed? Both involve risk with the chance of reward. Oh I forgot... only educated people play the stock markets.

[outcome69]

Bottom line: QUIT FREAKIN PASSING THINGS WITHOUT LETTING THE PUBLIC VOTE ON IT. ENOUGH WITH THE DAMN SENATORS PUSHING THEIR OWN INTERESTS.

[chipking44]

the land of the free but your not allowed to spend you own money you earn on online poker how great its not to be an american

[velvetnight]

it's amazing how the worse terrorist of the world is still free: bush! he should be in jail! but instead he distracts ppl with this gambling issue!!!

[joshuaace]

Don't count on American citizens to "speak up" on this issue.They are much too busy bellying up to the buffet.

[DemonKnight86]

what go to hell we not are fat k pal you country is just as bad

[SheWhoIs]

Online gambling is not illegal... yet. The bill merely prohibits bank transactions to online gaming websites.

[GmanIV]

Lottery is ok in most states, where you have almost NO chance to win the big one, yet Poker, a game of skill, is outlawed, yah go figure.

[bfyrth]

man feel for you guys over there what happened to your country, u got no international respect and now they try and screw u there as well Harsh man

[midevilco]

Legalize Poker Online . com

[Raeysa]

i like the way it was put togather

[jungenbum]

'pro-family movement' ... hooray for clever wordings

[vawus]

This guy really says it best, pointing out what these politicians are really about, and thats money. They try to mask their greed buy saying stuff is moral yet they would probably sell their mothers to make a quick buck. It just makes me sick that America is laughed at due to morons that we have in office and many of our stupid laws. We are I believe one of the only countries in the world that have a 21 yr old drinking age limit, and also one of the only that bans online gambling.

[lilmariom]

When a motive is hard to understand, just follow the money trail and you will find the answer. Good Work! I am very happy that many of the politicians who voted for this BAN got their family-jewels handed to them on election day.

[lilmariom]

Follow the money trail, and ye shall find the truth.

I don't know if the Democrats will be any better(I think all politicians are crooks) but I was sure glad to see the republicans get spanked, as I knew it was them behind the internet gambling ban.

[Ladyluck757]

VEry nice Very nice!HIting em where it hurts those bastards!!!

[bxist]

Wow, I'm surprised there is so little press on this issue. Can we please get these idiots out of congress asap? VOTE DEMOCRAT 06!

[BurningPlanet]

I agree. The press has let us down again. Too interested in the latest in the Paris Hilton saga, I suppose.

[colindude]

I thought America was suppose to be the land of the free. But you can't play online poker?

[ITSGOINGDOWN88]

well said

[bigbobm11]

rob is a tool, you know nothing about what youre talking about

[GuiseppeD]

Great video! Way to use their bs against them!

[RobRoyThe1st]

Good video, with some good points.

But there's no doubt that online gambling has far worse consequences than lotteries or horse racing.

And I'm sure that the online gambling companies also gave tens of thousands of dollars to politicians - it's just that the vote didn't go their way (for once). Hopefully much of the misery that gambling at home inflicts upon families will reduce now that people have to go out of their way to gamble at a casino.

[BurningPlanet]

People do a lot of dumb things. People eat bad food, waste time on TV, lots of stuff. But it should all be legal. If did our driving laws assuming the worse like this driving would be illegal!

[pumpdawg]

great video....could not agree more...

[Giru]

Thanks god connectocasino, scifi and breakaway are still up and running. I always prefered RTGs over Playtech

[Jbear9]

Thanks for keeping us informed of the REAL truth.

[uglyowl]

He is not running again. He has presidential hopes for 2008

[brgroom]

i hope frist gets voted out. i think he pissed off way more than he pleased by pushing this bs bill.

[laurencejones]

Great video guys - how much more neo-con rubbish are we going to have to put up with? Exercise your freedom and break this ban (useful details on gamblingbanbusters)

[mooger32]

I don't even play online poker and I think this video was great, the government is constantly doing things against the wishes of its people. Maybe it's time someone goes over to Bill Frist's house and sodomize him with a fucking spiked baseball bat! Metaphorically speaking, that's what he's doing to everyone who has been making a living off online poker!

[icekube666]

[iataz]

I wish we could get this out to al of the major news stations

[oduc22]

The REPUBLICAN PARTY is responsible for this anti-gambling bill. REMEMBER THAT when it's election time.

[oduc22]

The REPUBLICAN PARTY is responsible for this ridiculous anti-gambling bill. REMEMBER THAT WHEN IT IS ELECTION TIME !!

[johnnyboyCT]

Thank you for taking the time to produce this, I'm a big fan of online poker and appreciate you trying to make a difference.

[Pinababy69]

If I had a ton of money, I swear I would buy up airtime on several stations..even if it were late night, infomercial time...and play this over and over again. Awesome job guys!! Political hypocrisy at it's finest.

[BurningPlanet]

The proble is that stations are often corrupt as well and would never air things like this which expose the politicians. Our mmedia is run through the same corporations which corrupt the politicans. All means of communication are controlled, so people remain ignorant.

[red07079]

all politicians are scum.

this isn't going to make anyone stop betting.

i'll bet forever

f the govt

and they won't get one stinking cent in taxes from people who bet on sports

[Hotpotatomash]

[jerrylee903]

The truth comes out! This has been swept under the rug. Everyone needs to watch this video.

[Webzcas]

Great work JTodd!

[otas32]

[PastorSinAlot]
