Why are we not seeing a big push on the US Mexico boarder where lives are being taken, drugs are being smuggled in and all sorts of crazy crimes take place?  How about the Gun running scheme Fast and Furious out DOJ ran placing countless amounts of small arms into the Mexican drug lords hands?  These guns have now been traced to the deaths of many civilians as well as boarder patrol officers.  The government needs to  look at the priorities and all the stupid laws on the books and start over.

All account holders will be notified by email ”

 Prohibition at its best, I cant wait until these law makers finally get what they deserve as they get voted out for destroying this once great and free country.

The casinos listed were not anything of note except for Doylesroom, taking the name of the legendary online poker player.

Just reporting after watching the intense elections that the US went through today. It seems like the Republican party won a lot of seats this time as the majority of US citizens decided to side with them this time.

Whereas I do not want to get into an argument on politics, let’s better discuss what this means for the online gaming industry as a whole. (more…)

Canadian online casino players received very sad news last week when a lot of online casino operators announced that they will no longer be providing them with their services.

The message was a result of new legislation coming into effect in Canada. The legislation prohibits foreign online casinos to offer casino games and products in their jurisdiction.
