18 Billion dollar industry would equate to what? About 2-3 Billion in tax revenue/yr if it were regulated and taxed by the US Government? If it were regulated by the Government the industry would probably grow to over 100 Billion/year, once players would have more faith that it is safe to play.

If you''re stupid enough to bet online and lose, whether someone cheated you or not, most people would say you got what you deserved.

P.T. Barnum was right.

Wow. Seeing as how absolutepoker.com and ultimatebet.com is the same "company" (i.e. fraudulent front for total scammers) I''m not surprised. Besides, just look at their UNSATISFACTORY rating by the BBB.org.

The two sites operate out of a shopping mall in Costa Rica and run their games on computer servers housed on an Indian reservation outside of Montreal.

Most of all the poker sites out there are scams / fixed games.

Who would have thought there could be anything hokey about an Indian tribe with no casino experience, operating out of a shopping mall in Costa Rica?
