Why I Think Internet Poker Should Be Illegal


Recommended Posts

Do you think internet gambling is wrong..blackjack, roulette, slots and other casino games? Who has ever won playing casino games online? Internet poker rooms now adays not only have poker but most if not all have casino games. 2 states in the united states have no type of gambling..utah and hawaii..what would it mean for those states if internet gambling is allowed? If you really wanted to play..isnt there a casino within a hour or 2 away? Kids that are not of legal age are getting addicted. B and M casinos have guards to prevent minors from entering. I like playing poker and if the internet poker went away..i could find ways to play by driving to a local cardroom. The negatives outweigh the positive by a large margin.

Hi.If you don't want your kids playing online poker then teach them some bloody responsibility. Or be a bloody parent and watch them.If you think that you'd be addicted then learn some bloody responsibility.Don't worry about other people, they are their own responsibilities and should be allowed to make their own mistakes and be forgiven in turn.If you're afraid of being addicted to online poker then don't bloody play it. Or at least don't make me suffer because you have no self control.If you don't fall into any of these categories then what do you care?Don’t make the responsible suffer to protect the irresponsible.Thanks.

If you really wanted to play..isnt there a casino within a hour or 2 away? not if you live in parts of utah or anywhere in hawaii Kids that are not of legal age are getting addicted. Kids might get addicted to sex, so you gonna argue for taking that away from adults too?B and M casinos have guards to prevent minors from entering. so make it illegal to lie about your age when signing up for an account instead I like playing poker and if the internet poker went away..i could find ways to play by driving to a local cardroom. The negativesfor an extremely small portion of the population outweigh the positivefor the largest portion of the population by a slim margin.

I live in the D.C. area - one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country - and we're not within 2 hours of a legal casino.100% of movie goers "lose" money by going to the theater. And most of them get quite a bit less entertainment from the dreak they end up watching than they would by engaging in some poker or other form of gambling.

How is the poker on campus?
not really too much outside of home games, i usually play at my fraternity house( but it's only like a 10 dollar buy-in), also occasionally play in the world poker tavern freerolls over at bailey's.
