I've never placed on an online bet, but I think this is stupid. You can't do in your own house what you can do in Nevada and a bunch of other casinos around the country.

Either gambling is legal or it's not.

Yep. This bill was aimed at powering Casinos and increasing their take.

Hmmmm. I wonder who allows those Casinos to be built in the first place??

Oh, that's right. POLITICIANS.

And many of the same ones that just passed this prohibition.

“Uh, Senator — you can have my answer now if you like. My offer is this — nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.”

Exactly, what's stopping gamblers from going to brick-and-mortar casinos. There are casinos everywhere now. Plus state lotteries. Ban them all, or just leave them alone and let idiots throw their money away if they want.

This might have more to do with unscrupulous people who "fix" their website to obtain the gamblers money than with a privacy issue of what people do in their own homes.
