The US Governement tells me....

I cannot bet on sports or play poker online, but I can if I go to Nevada to do it.

This is why I am so aggravated by all of these clamp downs on offshore books and banks!!!

If sports betting and poker was banned in every state then I would gladly accept this, but this is so hypocritical it is sickening.

I agree 100%. In my state there are two horse tracks, numerous riverboat casinos, and the Hoosier Lottery. If it is ok to gamble this way, then it is ok to gamble however a person chooses (offshore or otherwise). Politicians are driven by money (lobbyists, special interests) and nothing more nowadays.

This is why foreign governments state that they should be allowed to have US customers as per the World Trade Organization's agreement that the US agreed to.

Most states do not have laws prohibiting online poker and casinos. The Feds claim interstate internet sports betting is prohibited by the 1961 Wire Act but informed opinion disputes whether this applies to the Internet.

Since online poker is clearly legal in many states, and online sportsbetting might well be, persons in those jurisdictions should, at least, be able to fund a poker account.

In fact NETeller was possibly waiting for the clarifying regulations but now it appears the rights of many citizens have been needlessly trampled by a broadly applied UIGEA that will not operate according to State of residence.

Once again you've been screwed by your government.
