Well, the American Government has found a way to screw us again, went to deposit with a Visa Debit Gift Card which I've done many times in the past and found out after March 31st these cards are no longer valid internationally.
I was only going to deposit the minimum to qualify for the reload free roll. The land of the free,,,don't think so.
That sucks wagon. American Government screw every way they can those bastards.
Western Union prepaid visa at any 711 works
WOW what ever happened to it being legal in 2012? yet we are still waiting, why do they drag there feet over billions in revenue? LOL
Just another example of how fortunate we are to be Americans...whatever would we do without the government telling us how we can spend our own money
yeah the government sucks, they have slowly took away all of our rights!!!!!!!
The good thing about our government is there is still many ways to get around most things because it can not micro-manage everything!
I hope the Canadian government never wakes up long enough to address online poker. I like having options for where i can play
Blaming the government is painting with a broad brush ... The blame should be dialed into who in government worked the system to get the law changed.
the key Senator Bill Frist (R) - former Senate majority leader
UIGEA fairly decently explained in this short vid (skip forward to the 1 minute mark where it gets somewhat specific) .... Annie Duke - How the UIGEA Passed - YouTube
Obviously you cannot blame everyone for the problem, but many of the people who are for legislation are too afraid to get involved, afraid it will hurt their political future. That makes them just as much of the problem than the solution.
u never had any rights to begin with....Quote:

And you need to consider who is responsible for keeping it in place - BradysDad touched on it... I suspect many of our congressmen/women would be supportive but are fearful, which means they don't have the balls to stand for what they believe in. Many others are being lobbied by the brick-and-mortar gambling industry to prevent online poker from becoming a broadly allowed/accepted pasttime again.Quote:

Bottom line is the R's broke it and they are not gonna do a 180 and fix it.Quote:

Either way, I supported Ron Paul, but would have been happy to see Gary Johnson win. Still I thought they got rid of "gift cards" a while ago, because they are not traceable.
Go to netspend man its the best and the easiest and many ppl on here use it to trade with
This is the land of the free. If you don't like it, move out. Go to North Korea, Iran. Don't talk shit about the country. It's not the country, it's the politicians.Quote:

They are all driven by what they THINK the general public perceives of them. I believe that less than 5% of our congress/senate critters actually consider "is this good for america" over "how will the media portray me" in signing any legislation. If we could just eliminate that... Should be so easy, Is this good for America???? Yes or No!!!! No other consideration needed!!!! Hell, we should do like Texas does, congress and senate are UNPAID positions. They get per diem, that's it!!!Quote:

You'll love this although its not Poker related: Recently my wife's paycheck has been having over half her income deducted out on a line item that says IRS Levy. When she contacted the IRS they claim to know nothing about it & verified we do not owe them any $. They told her to ask her employer for the documentation from IRS they are using to do this. After a few weeks of run arounds by her work they finally claim to have a code & document from IRS. Waiting 2 weeks for them to produce this & still haven't seen anything.
She gets paid on a separate debit/credit card issued through her work & once she initially contacted them about it nearly a month ago they froze the card & its remaining balance. So she has been working almost a month without pay & without any real explanation ! ! She does not want give up her career but this is coming to a head quickly.
I fear we are close to Greece style bank/pension confiscations! Recently our President signed an Executive Order declaring that once you put your $ in a bank it becomes Bank property ! ! DO YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT?
Now legally the Banks can take your hard earned $ say screw you & there's nothing you can do legally about it. God Help America & the World. These corrupt Banksters & Political DON's/God Fathers are screwing us all.
im going to open a bank.. Turk Of America, i own your money!Quote:
