Translation: We can't figure out how to tax these pricks so we'll just
ban it because it represents a perceived threat to our own rigged and

Backed by NAAG! Well if that isn't a ringing endorsement I don't know

The article quoted starts off with how concerned the gubmint is about the
possibility of consumer fraud wrt on-line casinos and shows how they

Consumer fraudsters should take note, they have a competitor in the ring!
