What is their stance? Why is it the US is pretty much the only country in the civilized world that considers this Illegal? If they even use the excuse "to protect the children" i dare them to say that with a straight face! If its for "terrorism" or "money laundering" purposes, i challenege them to show ONE case where this has happened.

It appears with the figures out now that show billions being wagered and going up, that legaliztion and regulation is the only solution. Prohibition didn't work in the 20's and won't work now!

I have discussed with Senators. They use scams as the excuse. Rogue outfits and no regulation.

Well if everyone here was getting scammed, why would we keep coming back? There is nothing rogue about a place like Pinnacle, they have no intention of losing all their clients..

When you're dealing with the DOJ, the DEA, Vice, cops, or government in general, you're dealing with a bunch of uptight morality crusaders.

Prohibiting alcohol only created guys like Al Capone.

The government learned that prohibition didn't work, and sadly through the decades they keep trying to enforce outdated tactics that have not and will not produce results in other fields like gambling, drugs and prostitution.

Legalize it, regulate it, collect fair taxes on it, and create a money generating machine instead of continuing to feed a money incinerator.

It didn't work with alcohol, and time has easily proven that it won't work for other crimes of consent against morality.

They are simply protecting legal businesses that pay money into the system. Legalized bribery you know. Even though sports betting could put money into the system, those already there don't want them there. No gambling business in the US wants to deal with sports betting online or even on the phone. Only businesses willing to take on sports do it to promote visitation. There is a good reason why stand alone sports books do not exist anymore and no one copied the drive-thru wagering that the IP and I think the Fiesta also started. They will give you convenient parking spots, but you still have to come in...
