Rolling The Dice To Legalize Online Gambling In The US
from the might-take-a-while dept
Even though plenty of online gambling customers are Americans, they're mostly breaking the law. The Department of Justice has been really cracking down on online gambling lately, even to the point that they accuse sites who advertise online gambling operations of breaking the law. However, some online gambling operations are pushing hard to convince Congress a better solution is to legalize and regulate online gambling. Of course, this lobbying effort has been going on for quite some time and so far hasn't been successful at all. In fact, so far, Congress and the DOJ have moved even further against online gambling. Meanwhile, here in California, we're looking to offline gambling to solve all of the state's financial problems. Seems to send a bit of a mixed message, doesn't it?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
