The end of online gambling is near

Did you see they think the poker stars group was a big ponzi scheme

i believe jimmydafreak.

i know most of you don't, but some of us are quite honest on Covers.

don't think what i typed is sarcasm.

speaking of that ponzi scheme i heard about from full tilt poker, yeah if you are going to be processing us bank transactions with customers from the US of A, then you better be damn straight about paying up when the request for withdrawal is made otherwise you get your ass in hot water don't you.  Do we not need more spending into this economy from our online poker payouts or not?  LOL

I didn't Google VPN Poker so I'm not sure what exactly it is. But from your comment, I'm assuming you VPN into the Poker site's Network? "Disguising your true IP Address"

If that's the case.. any interruption on the VPN would drop you immediately from their site/network so no your actual IP address wouldn't be exposed.

Van quick question for you and I'm sorry if it has been discussed already...

I currently have a big amount (for me anyways) online spread across 3 books. (5dimes, heritage, betonline) All 3 are solid review wise but I'm always scared something is going to happen based on recent events and things you have spoke of earlier. Would you try to get most of the money out immediately or what? My online accounts consist of over 50% of my total funds so I can't afford for something to go wrong where my money gets frozen. I have withdrawn slowly over the past couple months but the obvious problem is getting large amounts withdrawn quickly.

Curious on your take.

5Dimes is just about the only acceptable American facing book left.

I give them a lot of credit.  They really dont have to do all that they do - like spotless pay record, reduced juice, tons and tons of betting options - but they do - and they remain despite being really a dinosaur.  They are the only one of their kind left.

I used to criticze them all the time here.  I laughed at them because they limited players to almost nothing if you bet big and won.  I dont anymore - in fact - if I could retract everything I said 5-10 years ago about them I would.  Pinnacle is gone.  Matchbook is gone.  Mansion is gone.  All the books of the time that made 5dimes look like a rec book are gone.  5dimes is still here - for now.... 

And until they leave - which seems inevitable based on the industy's history - props to them.

I'm just gonna bet for fun from now on.

nothing beats on-line sports betting.  I will be so bummed when it is taken away

It will never be taken away. There will always be someone willing to take the plunge and risk to allow americans to bet....far too much money to be made to ignore us

You obviously didnt read the thread.
