The World Against Online Poker

[uriell]

The authorities understood that the poker brings income therefore began to collect a tax on a game.

It is just a f*cking game that people want to play. Make smoking illegal, not some game.

It is not fair that others decide for you, as some countries do by taking away all their people the right to choose, as is the case of playing online poker. It is a form of censorship.

The government wants a piece of the poker revenue its a pretty simple solution every time there is a cash out processed a tax is paid by the player.

 

[okeedokalee]

In a world of free markets dictating the pace of living, the big bogey on governments minds is online poker

 

[tb87]

Can't wait for online poker to be legal everywhere in the US and the govt opens up to it. Sucks being limited from the big sites like partypoker etc but I will try to keep being patient. I remember playing on Full Tilt and it was amazing... those were the days!

When did the government gain the power to regulate private business i.e. online poker casino s ect .....answer they are taking that power now we all have to tell them to all f off

 

[lcid86]

When they find a way for casinos and online to coexist, the regulations will change. Tax money is too big an incentive.

I would be devastated if I lost the ability to play poker online. People want to control everything that free people want to do. It's kind of disgusting when you think about it. United States is supposed to be a free country. Then they go and close down the biggest 3 poker sites.

 

[crimsonblur]

Legalize it bro

I have yet to understand the reasoning behind prohibiting online poker. I am assuming there is some form of lobbying going on worldwide by casinos to generate business for them. But whatever, hopefully I can always play poker online.

The bottom line is money. Once each country has their hands firmly in place to grab their share of the money laws will become more lax. Money rules the world yo!

 

[57noona]

Anyone should be able to play poker online in any country.

 

[Zikasamaster]

Online pokeris great,i wish to be more popular like in 2007,in that time poker be on the top.......

 

[bmw1983kaz]

Being an Australian it certainly feels this way...

 

[jappchop]

I prefer online better then live tournys im more nervous live and if i catch a bad beat ican cuss and holler all i want when i get donkeyed lol

 

[Alpha325]

I love online poker and its really BullShi that the people who dont even play can ban online. Everyone who wants, should be able to play online

I think they can try to keep people from destroying their lives. Restrict the frequency of deposits. Screwing everyone because of some is wrong. Like trying to take law abiding folks guns, because of a few nutcases. The government cannot make society perfect.

 

[Mariancrt]

I don t think is a nice ideea , but like others say they want to tax those money, one of the things I like on. Poker is that you don t pay taxes on them, I can t imagine how will be if you need to pay taxes, I mean you play from your money and you already pay taxes on them when you get them..

 

[Ronaldo7]

I hope not

Jeez just to have the ability to play freerolls would be great, I don't care about depositing or withdrawing any funds from freerolls... do not care, just wish I could play freerolls not this stupid play money sh#t lol .......... but yeah limit deposits to one per month and put a cap on it, so large deposits cannot be made.. max $40 USD ......... also why not, a holding time set to the funds once deposited............ so you can't play asap once you deposit, stop addicted players waiting to hit the tables... gotta wait, relax and get on with life - work, kids, home life etc etc not poker, poker, poker lol

 

[BobbyMorton]

I have sympathy for those people who because of where they live cannot play online poker,I feel lucky to live in a country that allows it.

 

[Poker Orifice]

i think they should just legalize all forms of Texas Hold’em and use the money for social programs

Sounds like a great idea!
Instead, they assist in the destroying of lives by putting up more garbage casinos with garbage luck-based games.
