GO and listen to the whole 2 hr + meeting, It was very interesting, as their are ideas out there but personally, I feel too many different agendas for different people to get money are being put out there.
Addicition groups want money set aside for that
Tribal nations want first shot at USA
online poker
Kentucky is too worried that it will effect the horseracing business
TOo much attention to underage people playing and how to stop it
BOTS AND HUDS and how sharks follow weakers players from table to table
Money for research on how more african americans play (????)
Advertising on sites to about
gambling problems addict as opposed to ad to promote the sites
Intra state gambling in CA is trying to passed without laws and they said that will probably get shut down
If passed States can opt out so if youre state opts out your OPTED OUT
Consumer protection has to be first and for most. but on and on about underaged people playing and lots of concern about unsuspecting players coming across people using Bots and Huds (which I think they thought were the same things) and ripping off unsuspecting players
We got a story of the guy who lost his life saving, then his house, credit cards maxed and then his wife, and sat in the grocery store parking lot thinking of suicide but decided GETTING HELP was better (so money for that group)
The kept throwing aroung OFFSHORE, UNREGULATED, UNTAXED throughout this thing
The opening statements where the hold em refrences that sounded dumb and she goes through a whole texas hold em hand,
It seems like a long thing to listen to but it goes by fast as most is interesting but just too many agenda. When barton asked the guy representing tribal nations why they should get first shot is priceless seeing the tribal guys face and looking lost for answers
GO LISTEN TO IT
ALso the main thing you get out of it is, YOU can deposit on
bodog as they said they used a govt card and signed up and was up and playing in minutes and that millions of americans are still doing this everyday, so they do realize this is a lot of revenue they can make, but they really threw a light on BODOG
