Octombrie 13, 2008Yet another shocking news to our online gambling industry, now this time Argentina moving closer to put a ban on online gambling. The bill was proposed last week and if passed then it would make very difficult for the people of Argentina to gamble online.
Luis Alberto Mauri, the Councillor is the person responsible for proposing the new Bill. He is trying to put the burden on Internet Service Providers (ISP's) to block citizens access to gambling websites.
I don't know what kind of mentality these politicians posses. Why they keep interfering in our personal life I think all because of these local business.

Ky governor wants domains
Septembrie 24, 2008Yesterday, I read a post, where Kentucky state governor, Steve Beshear is asking court to give him permission to seize all internet gambling domains. The reason, Beshear stated is that these online gambling operators do not contribute anything to society, like paying tax regularly, attracting tourism and further added that these gambling operators are leeches in our community.
I don't know why these politicians are against online poker, which is totally skilled game. These politician do not have any other work to do? Actually these politicians are dumb head they are not aware of any such things that online poker can be dangerous or not. The main culprit is the local gambling operators who feed these politicians to take action against these business competitors. Its all business.
Seizing big poker domains such as poker stars, full tilt poker and doyles room is because they are doing very well in United States despite UIGEA rules, which is not yet clear as to what is legal and what is illegal.
Anyways, I hope everything goes well and domains are not seized as it can badly effect our online gaming industry.
