T, I don't know what the problem is. At first, I thought it was the fact they couldn't tax the companies. But that's not it. ParadisePoker promised to set up its hq in North Dakota, with all the taxes that entailed, if the state would make online gaming legal, and it still didn't pass. It can't be a prejudice against gambling, because ND has legal gambling. I have heard that people worry about underage kids gambling, but I think the online folks are as tough on that as the brick and mortar. Gambleholics are a problem. But I see the poor folks all the time at b&m casinos. Yes, it is easier online. You don't have to wear pants or drive or anything. I loved Baden-Baden, which was my first casino experience outside Nevada. The Vienna Casino was also great. I don't much care for the Nevada and Caribbean varieties.

I am beginning to like the Interpoker site. It is different and I didn't give it enough of a chance. I am now kicking butt, so that also helps my enjoyment. I still haven't hit my total bonus at London. I emailed them today to ask where I stand. I feel I should have had it by now. I hate these rooms that don't publish the numbers on the site. Even Noble resorts to weekly emails. The new bonus requirements seem like they're taking me forever to get any money. London in slow. Interpoker is slow. The new Noble system sure isn't racking them up quickly. Oh, well, the gravy train had to get lumpy, eventually.
