Say what you want about online gambling, it ain’t going away.

In fact, it’s expected to nearly double in growth over the next 4 years, leaving many concerned that the illegality of gambling in the United States is all but a joke. Considering anyone can hop online from work, school, or favorite over-priced coffee shop and blow their life savings in an hour, it’s no wonder Congress is concerned about it.

Wait, did I say they’re concerned about people’s savings. Sorry. I meant concerned about the millions of tax revenue slipping out of their pockets and into the hands of honest, hard-working Nigerian sleaze-wad scammers. It’s un-American! That money should be lining the pockets of honest, red-white-and-blue blood American sleaze-wad scammers. More examples of American jobs going over-seas, I suppose.

Luckily a bill is being put forth that will ban the use of credit cards on gambling sites. Enforceable on all… ummm… U.S. based sites and the companies that provide the hosting for those sites. Okay. So this will essentially give all rights to online gambling to those outside the country. That’ll clean this mess up, I guess. Luckily, the ban doesn’t count for “legitimate” gaming, in the eyes of Congress. So you’re online lotteries and bets on horse racing are safe. Love it!
