Sounds like she could have used a WINRS debit card.

Here is the story: dailynews.yahoo.com The gist is, as you say, a California woman who racked up a substantial sum gambling in cybercasinos using several credit cards. She refuses to pay the card companies, saying that gambling is illegal in California. Here is an excerpt from the story: <<<<If Ms. Haines' lawsuit is successful, it could cause the collapse of the Internet gambling industry, which brings in $600 million annually in wagers, said I. Nelson Rose, a Whittier College law professor and American Bar Association expert on gambling law. Rose said credit card accounts are the key to betting at Internet casinos, which are based outside the United States. ''Anything else is too slow,'' Rose said. ''Without credit cards, online gambling is doomed.''>>>> Well, these people obviously haven't heard of WINR. The reason this won't be a problem for WINR, James, is because there will be no direct credit card payment to the casinos under the WINR system. A gambler may fund his Winners Debit Card Account with a credit card, but the casino will never see a Visa, Mastercard, etc. Nothing illegal about using your Visa to fund a debit account. Then, the gambler will draw on his Winners Debit Card to pay for his losses. Get it. Once again, news that seemingly spells the end of internet gaming is in reality good news for WINR. Quahog
