Bill Frist go jump off a cliff. Instead of trying to ban online gambling, the United States government should be looking to legalize, regulate and tax it. More jobs. Less national debt.

Onlinnne gambling. Like online sportsbooks. Online casinos. Etc. Congress passed a bill to ban online gambling in roundabout ways two years ago. I have been bitter ever since haha.

I completely agree. People are going to gamble on sports, card games, etc no matter what restrictions the government tries to put on them. Rather than ban them and fine banks that fund deposits to these sites, why not keep them legal and impose taxes on the profits?

People with 'gambling problems' who lose substantial amounts of money due to gambling deserve to lose it for their greed and/or lack of will power.

There shouldn't be any law in place to save them from this and to spoil it for people who enjoy gambling and know when to stop.
