The law reminds me of the sub-prime mortgage bail out. Government protecting stupid people from making stupid choices, or worse yet, getting scammed. I think politicians feel like it is their duty to do everything in their power to prevent that. (if they could control our thoughts and movements, many politicians would do that too) But it's also like drugs and alcohol.........here to stay. Govt might as well just go ahead and tax gambling, just like they might as well go ahead and tax drugs, because they are not going to get rid of either. But they won't because then, in some minds, they they'd be perceived as being down in the gutter like the rest of the parasites. You can have all of the laws you want, it won't stop people from gambling.......it is what they want to do. A family member gambled away $120,000 on line in 2006. I don't know all the details, but that family member doesn't blame anyone but herself. And she still gambles on line. Should she go to jail? That's it...........we need a jail for stupid people. Teach them how not to be stupid. Hahahaha
