So why does the US admin want to control internet gambling? To protect the weak? Or is it to control and to tax?
So why does the EU admin., Brussels, want to control the internet? To protect the weak? Or is it to control and tax?
For 'control', above, read 'you do nowt without OUR permission & a licence fee (mulct)'.
Alexander Litvinenko was killed by Boris Berekovsky -the Russian Mafia guy - whose house he lived in and for whom Litvinenko worked for. Berekovsky is the main beneficiary of the murder because 3 wekks ago the Russian police applied for Boris Berekovsky to be extradited to stand trial for fraud. Now Boris Berekovsky looks immune from extradition.
Also traces of polonium ghave been found at Boris Berekovsky's offices.
There's been high profile arrests of executives of betting firms about this subject in the USA. The US laws are hopelessly antiquated. However, in the current climate Betfair would be mad to take bets from people living in the USA (which I'm assuming Guido is currently). If that's not the case then I don't know what the problem is. They've solved the problems with Australian markets by doing a deal with the Aussie Tote.
Of course all Guido (or in fact any backer from the USA etc) needs to do is ask someone else to place the bet for him on Betfair and then send them the money separately. Shows how easily these rather silly rules can be broken.
time to a use a British based proxy server.
And Guido didn't see this coming because...? The Americans are fascists, simple as that. Next time you want to bet that America is a free country, drop me a line. I could use some easy cash.
I love visiting America, I like (most) Americans, but.....as for freedom! They don't know the meaning of the word.
The Yank rules helps to protect the Las Vegas and New Jersey gambolling industry....proving the mafia still control bits of Congress...Given the nature of the internet, it should be possible to run a gaming site which Americans have access to, as long as the servers are outside the US and the company exects never travel there...and their country of residence does not have the sort of extraction treaty that we have with them....another blessing from the Blair Government, no doubt signed somewhere in the recesses of Bush's ass......
If I try and visit any mainstream UK betting site from sunny Italy I get a message telling me "bog off - it's a state monopoly here sunshine". However, if I'm linked up to my company VPN (based in Engerlund), I can bet away from Tuscany to my hearts content. So much for the alleged free internal market in the EU.
Antigua won a ruling a year from the WTO that the US had a year to either change its laws to fully ban online gambling (betting on horse racing and in-state gambling is permitted) or allow foreign access to its online gambling market. That year is now up with no change except clarification of the existing status quo.
Under WTO rules Antigua has the right to suspend its own compliance with the treaty in respect to US intellectual property laws. So maybe sometime soon Antigua will be legally selling knock-off copies of Windows Vista. Should get the Yank's attention...

Great minds...
you sure Fruity??
@Stelios
Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows that Putin would have ordered a bullet in the head instead of a slow death in front of the world's media.
Now can you stop spamming?
Hedgy, I'm being amiable, I have a hangover. Rapier wit escapes me at the moment, I'm still dealing with the stabbing pains.
Well I suppose their directors wouldn't want to be extradited under laws introduced to fight terror!
bless Fruity....
get well soon....
"The Yank rules helps to protect the Las Vegas and New Jersey gambolling [we know what you mean] industry" very much second this opinion.
Tuscany Tony, don't get me started, "So much for the alleged free internal market in the EU". The weirdest one is the pretence of the single currency. Each of the currencies are national currencies with the same name, viz, euro. Try depositing a cheque denominated in Euros in a bank in a different country from that which the cheque was issued (eg Italy vs Germany) and compare the process of depositing a similar cheque in the same Euro country (eg Italy vs Italy or Germany vs Germany). The difference is due to the exchange processes that are involved in the former case.
Betfair won't accept bets from people yankland because of the recent arrests - you're a complete fucking tosser for not recognising it you twat.
And anyway, hasn't Guido ever hear of the TELEPHONE? Betfair accept bets on the phone too. And he could also use a proxy server so as he connects to betfair from another country.
stop dissing betfair you fucking tit, a more innovative site than this shite will ever be.
piss off back from whence you came Catesby.
Can we please have a bit of decorum on the site ? If I wanted lots of swearing and abuse I would become a teacher or go and live on a council estate. Although that is perhaps where some contributors are based ?
As for the new chairman of the BBC, I suggest Michael Jackson.
Wow Tim, did you go to Eton?
Michael Jackson, now thats novel...I thought Sherry Blair might like the job, make her a little more money and she could commission lots of soaps from Merseyside...on second thoughts....
As for the new chairman of the BBC, I suggest Michael Jackson.
I suggest George Galloway, he'd fit in nicely.
PS Tim if you don't like the site piss off.
Wow Tim that even made my ears burn.
I seem to be suffering from some kind of anger issue that probably requires an immediate medical intervention, your tiny bollocks are probably in danger of falling off due to impotent rage syndrome.
You are the newly unemployed piers morgan and I hereby claim my £5
this beta version is shit , how do i undo a post?
Let's get the bunting out and hang it from the lampposts
You can't Peter...its here for ever and is being read at this moment in time at GCHQ and the Bush bunker...and Meester Blair has just taken you off his Christmas card list
Betfair tossers? Not so bad that you refused to use your affiliate link though.
God, this is tedious. Does anyone kow what the first swear word on radio was?
I think Clarkson summed Americans up on Jonathan Ross on Friday night
define swear word mrstreet
we all know kenneth tynan was the first to say fuck on TV
Does anyone kow what the first swear word on radio was?
generally agreed to be some vaudeville chap in the 30s, I think. But he only said something fairly inoffensive like 'damn' or 'arse'.
I know Buzz Aldrin is credited with being the first man to swear on the moon, but then he's not up against that much competition, to be fair.
Mr Street
I know max miller was the first to be banned from the BBC for telling a dirty joke, care to hear it?
He (max miller) said..
"there I was mountaineering walking along this narrow ledge in the Alps when all of a sudden I came face to face with this gorgeous blonde, I didn't know whether to block her passage or toss meself off"
That got him banned from the BBC for 5 years.
"there I was mountaineering walking along this narrow ledge in the Alps when all of a sudden I came face to face with this gorgeous blonde, I didn't know whether to block her passage or toss meself off"
Great joke and a great comedian but the two are not necessarily related.

Also I listened recently to a biography of Max Miller on the radio and the joke wasn't mentioned.
sad....

You really don't know about "advertising pays"...cushy west european upbringing I presume? Don't understand the concept of the sharpened pine sapling? Thought not?
Pssst, Guido, get yourself to an Indian casino. They're technically not American territory, so you might be able to place a bet from there. Just avoid the Akwesasne Mohawk one on the Canadian border; it's a bit of a hot spot right now, armed-response-wise.
All the rules that apply to Internet gambling apply to the phone too, but it's more difficult to block. Penalties tend to be stiffer, though, FYI.
You could just drive up to Canada, though. I've got no problem accessing the site. It even displays my local time, how sweet.
