True and a shame.

It looks like the UK is going to become the major player in online betting control with the backing from the goverment. I think this is a good thing and will offer good security for both the players and the sites that join, offcourse there will be a fee payable in taxes by the sites and this fee will have to be recouped by the sites through the players but it will offer security and I suppose in the long term this is good.

I cant understand why the US dont come on board as Tessa Jowell has said what the US goverment has done will only lead to Crime and turn good citizens into criminals and just for having abit of enjoyment and with there own money.

Prohabition wont work it hasnt in the past and never will. I feel that if the UK set up good relations and security working with online gambling sites the pressure for the US to come on board will happen soon.

Anyway back to the latest on the gambling summit.
