What criminal charges?

It's considered an addiction and has caused jail time with the current system.

Why is all online gambling a fool's bet? It's entertainment. I see fools throwing money away on things I think are worse than gambling all the time. It's a matter of opinion. Is buying cigarettes or a CD of some flash in the pan pop artist any less foolish? It's impossible for any entity, let alone the federal government to keep a fool from parting with his or her money. . Fool's bet is a saying and doesn't apply to just online gambling. It's placing bets expecting to win but odds are you won't, then bet again and get the same result. If it's entertainment why don't you go to the free gambling websites?
It's fun too, right?
