Other countries don't seem to care about online poker. Their government is letting them play poker without any harrassment of online poker ban and laws. Why is the US the only country wanting to ban online poker. I think because their selfish and greedy.

No because you see lots of people in poverty. they dont want the people to go in debt or lose their family and house over gambling.

Oh please don't give me the option to choose what's right for me. I don't think I could make adult decisions. Please don't let me decide what to do with what I've earned. Please just tax the devil out of me and use it to pay gov't backed already rich corporations that pay there workers the bare minimum and while your at it fund some govn't propped up monopolies. Btw, there are quite a few countries that restrict gambling. Most of them are communisms. Originally Posted by DuckU408

Oh really, yet we have lotto and scratch offs which mainly attracts low income people who have a dream of buying $50 worth of lotto tickets every week and becoming millionaires over night. If a person is addicted to gambling they will find a way throw away their money. Oh yea, don't forget "Bingo Halls" where you can find the same people day after day. Just my thoughts...

You can't really protect the people from their selves in a free society. Irresponsible people will find ways to end up in poverty w/o needing gambling as the vice to avoid. Haven't we had enough of government protecting us against ourselves for our own good a.k.a. nanny state?
Until poker sites can guarantee that no US citizens that play there can dodge paying taxes on their winnings those sites will not be allowed to accept US players.
The govt. could care less about Joe six pack going broke. It's all about the money they might be missing out on.
