Dante.

Your social gambling in Az is wrong. They used to have Great social gambling law here, but they were changed in 1990. It would take a lawyer to read and define it for you, but i can tell you it Aint like it used to be.

Very Interesting Nevada has one of the harshest gambling laws according to that chart---they have a felony gambling penalty option and expressly forbid internet gambling as well. :icon_conf

DANTE, I noticed that Idaho has the LEAST harsh gambling laws according that that chart, NO felony gambling penalties and NO specific prohibition against internet gambling.

its not one person peter but the leader of it died...when I read about the rallys up thier maybe only 10- 20 idiots marched with that goofball...

it is a misconception that people have about idaho being a racist state

. since they do not know much about it they judge, its the easiest way to explain so that rumor floats around

....thats fine with me its a great state not to crowded...it can stay that way nobody has to move here my friend..:toast:

ppeter · Mar 31, 2006

Yeah, keep the crowds out. Besk kept secrets are a GOOD thing. The last thing you want is tons of displaced Katrina victims rushing in, signing up for welfare, and gambling on the intenet with their welfare checks, once the cat is out of the bag Idaho has been unfairly stigmatized as a racist state by a few dead idiots and has liberal gambling statutes. :lolBIG:

IF YOU SHOW anger when you lose I would assume

No.

Application of "Aggravated Felony" Definition
The following types of categories have been defined by the U.S. Congress in determining what offenses are deemed to be aggravated felonies:

(A) murder, rape, or sexual abuse of a minor
(B) illicit trafficing in a controlled substance
(C) illicit trafficking in firearms or destructive devices
(D) offenses relating to "money laundering"
(E) offenses relating to explosive materials
(F) "crimes of violence" for which a term of imprisonment of one (1) year has been imposed
(G) a theft offense (including receipt of stolen property) for which a term of imprisonment of one (1) year has been imposed
(H) offenses relating to ransom or demand for receipt of ransom
(I) offense relating to child pornography
(J) offenses relating to influenced corrupt organizations, or gambling
(K) offenses relating to: (i) owning, controlling, managing, or superivising prostitution; (ii) to transportation for the purpose of prostitution; (iii) slavery, and/or involuntary servitude
(L) offenses relating to: (i) gathering or transmitting national defense information; disclosure of classified information; sabotage; treason; (ii) protecting identity of intelligence agents; (iii) protecting identity of undercover agents
(M) an offense that involves: (i) fraud or deceit in which loss to victim exceeds $10,000; (iii) a relation to Tax Evasion in which loss to government exceeds $10,000
(N) an offense relating to alien smuggling as defined in section 274(a) of the Act, unless committed for an immediate family member and no other individual
(O) offense committed by an alien who was previously deported on the basis of a conviction for an offense described in another subparagraph of this paragraph (e.g., alien previously deported as an "aggravated felony" is automatically considered to be an "aggravated felon")
(P) an offense (i) which either is falsely making, forging, counterfeting, mutiliating or altering a passport or instrument or relating to document fraud; and (ii) term of imprisonment is at least 12 months, except in first offense where offense committed to aid immediate relative
(Q) an offense relating to a failure to appear for a defendant for service of sentence if the underlying offense is punishable by imprisonment for at least five (5) years or more
(R) an offense relating to commercial bribery, counterfeiting, or forgery, or trafficking in vehicles for the identification numbers of which have been altered and for which a term of imprisonment of one (1) year has been imposed
(S) an offense relating to obstruction of justice, perjury, subornation of perjury, bribery of a witness for which a term of imprisonment of one (1) year has been imposed
(T) offense relating to failure to appear before a court pursuant to a court order to answer to or dispose of a charge of a felony for which a sentence of two (2) years may be imposed
(U) an attempt or conspiracy to commit any of the above offenses.

Therefore, if you combined gambling with say, money laundering or bribery, then it becomes "aggrevated" and is a felony, as opposed to simply placing a bet, which is a misdemeanor.
