Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative CNBC Interview - 6/8/07

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.

How can anyone watch this and think net gambling is the problem? If he feels so sorry for addicted gamblers why not ban it all together?

Im sure the statistics would point towards casino slot players being the biggest and most effected 'detramental' gamblers around. ( i see addicted gamblers and 'self detramental gamblers' as seperate things). I see them all the time, they use the casino as a hang out rather than a gambling venue, very dangerous when playing against the odds constantly

[TheStranglehold]

Of course the brick and mortar casinos want regulations and taxes. They can absorb the costs. That's the game ALL large businesses play, regulations and taxes protect them from competition.

John Kindt is just a moralfag with "studies" and "feelings" instead of a holy book.

Blablabla... Internet Gambling is bad.

Melissa Francis is hosting an hour on illegal gambling on wednesday the 16th 9p on cnbc - there's a clip on youtube

[jjangbs]

Internet gambling is a move towards making everywhere where there is a computer a casino.

When something becomes illegal, the gov has to try to make those illegal stuff disappear.

However, they are trying to legalize it to help the law-breaking criminals by saying that they can protect those criminals from unsafe crime-making environment.

It's very entertaining to see how monkeys run around and claim that they can run a country by messing things up and talking fancy.

[Gypscrew]

so pretty much it comes down to this. Get your ass off the couch or computer chair and go to a real casino if you like gambling. The shit people play online is rigged up worse then the casinos that are in actual buildings.

roulette, explain how the ball actually lands on black for 17 times straight, the next time it lands on red for 8 times straight, and that is very common for landing on colors so many times.

Yet when you go to a real casino and bet on black or red, it's not common.

[Gypscrew]

actually no it wouldn't. If parents could gamble in the living room, they may let their 15 year old do it while they take a nap or whatever. You don't know, however if this were legal it would be good for tax purposes for the USA to make money.

It's really a double edged sword. It's something that really has to be thought about carefully. Personally I wouldn't care as I can drive 60 miles to a casino anyway and it gets me out of the house.

Very cool video.I will vote for it!

[yahoovisitor]

In the western countries its a big source of tax earning and the gamblers are now turning their move towards the east where due to lack of education and literacy its easy to fool a poor man and get funds released on the name of awards.USA and its allies who for want of funds for destruction of peace on globe encourage the internet gamblers to commit this blunder. As USA is already destroyed as regards its economy and it can be an indirect source of earning money for this purpose.

question is not is it safe, question is it taxable

[Whoo69]

How the fuck can these Congressional douchebags ban Internet gambling??? What's so bad about it? They let gambling happen in their own home states and don't bitch about it, and everything's fine.  Why the fuck is Internet gambling such a big deal anyway?

[88LOTR88]

Um, actually prof Kindt has stopped numerous casinos being started in his home state of Illinois. So get you facts straight before posting in something you don't understand. Wise up.

[poker410]

this prof john makes an idiot out of himself he might want to learn something about the subject he is talking about before he talks. i feel sorry for his students that have to put up with him.

[hellasow]

well 1st prof john starts off by saying 80% of congress voted into law..ect ect then he is corrected that a bill to outlaw gambling tranactions was pass as part of port security bill with no debate...he is just trying to spew out is holier than thou B.S. that all gambling is immoral and since he does not like it noone else should be able to do it. online shopping is more addictive than gambling should we outlaw that too? its about personal choice! your profanity shows your huge vocabulary range

[hellasow]

the bill that past last october stopped london stock based online companies from taking bets but continue to allow casinos that operate from canada/indian reservations and small contries that are privately owned to take U.S. bets...it is legal to gamble online federaly as testafied by the doj when asked under oath....just type in "bobby scott ppa" (on a youtube search) 2mins and a few seconds in you will hear it for yourself at a house judicary meeting...

[hellasow]

these bill were passed to protect the monopolies of lotteries and horse racing...the department of justice claims the taking of online bets is illegal but there are no prosecutions of state lotteries or off track betting i wonder why?...and vegas would be a sand box without gambling...48 states have gambling and it has not ruined them

[staircut]

John Kindt ownage! This guy is my professor right now. He's pretty awesome. He really hates gambling.

[GenericGene]

Regulated gambling on line can be implemented with secure player protection. This can be to the benefit of government and casino alike. Online

gambling may very well limit gambling addiction and be a path to responsible gaming. Gambling is only a word for those who do not understand the mechanics of

games of chance, and may well do to be more educated in the entertainment value. Jady Davis
