Why not just ban unlicenses gambling then? You can go bankrupt playing in a real casino, too.

For one sports gaming is illegal with the 1961 Wire Act anyway.
You can go backrupt with just about any vice, but with internet gaming it's a 24/7 operation and can be done in comfort of your own home. With River Boat casino's there is a limit (at least in MO) of loss within a period of time and all require getting up out of your home.

How are you going to ban unlicensed gambling? It's the internet, which in itself is unregulated.

[QUOTEAh, so it is the stupid who support this. I guess I was right. Up next: ban motor oil because a stupid person might drink it.[/QUOTE]
No, it's to protect the stupid. Ever heard of gambling addiction?
