In fact, gambling with a credit card should be banned full stop. Not just on the internet. It’s a no brainer when you consider you are placing backing the outcome of an uncertain event with somebody else’s money. Chance and credit do not mix well in my opinion, and continuing to allow it would only contribute further in negatively affecting the high levels of personal debt many citizens today find themselves in. I do however, think that the prohibition won't work; or at least it won’t be received well amongst gamblers - I mean what’s the point in banning a credit card payments made on an <A HREF="http://www.bluesq.com/bluesquare/bspoker/index.shtml" REL="nofollow">online poker</A> game, for example, but not online sports betting? Slightly hypocritical no? I mean how can you allow someone to participate [with or without a credit card] in online horse racing betting, but not put any money on a hand of texas hold’em poker? both activities involve a large degree of chance, and neither are guaranteed to yield financial return.<BR/>What really infuriates me is that the minority of irresponsible gamblers [those paying with someone elses money!] have now ruined the fun of online betting for everyone else - those like me who pay with money they actually have in their bank!! <BR/>At least for the Americans there is always the <A HREF="http://www.bluesq.com/bluesquare/bspoker/joiningagame.shtml" REL="nofollow">free online poker game</A>s!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010211.post-1162072372261282162006-10-28T14:52:00.000-07:002006-10-28T14:52:00.000-07:00I am unfamiliar with this game "sans pants" to whi...I am unfamiliar with this game "sans pants" to which Drizz refers, but I assume if the game AI is sophisticated enough, anything is possible.<BR/><BR/>I like this concept, wonder if it will hit Niagara soon...Iakaris aka I.A.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05145743425237255629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010211.post-1161963297072648512006-10-27T08:34:00.000-07:002006-10-27T08:34:00.000-07:00Would be interested in what their rake was on the ...Would be interested in what their rake was on the cash games as well. With the elimination of dealers, you would assume they could lower the cost for players and increase their profit.

A lot of the fun of real poker is the chips and the cards...I know I'm only 35 and I sound like your great-grandfather, so this just seems far too impersonal and cold for me.
