Last summer Nevada was given the go- ahead to implement the new Internet gambling laws. However, government officials say that illegal wagering is still going on. To keep track of illegalities happening the Attorney General will provide the State Gaming Commission an analysis of the new gaming laws next month. Until matters are taken care of, the state and the Federal Justice Department will meet to discuss the correlation between online gambling to the 1961 Wire Act that states that gambling over telephone lines is illegal. The Gaming Commission will need to guarantee that minors do not enter gambling sites and that games are played in a safe and reliable environment. " The Bush Administration has not as yet taken a position on the Wire Act", sources say. Online gambling market revenues expect to rise to $6 billion by next year.
Online gambling's easy access threatens the authorities with fear of terrorist's attacks and illegal transactions happening online. The Internet has become an easy tool for committing crimes. A new bill was passed late last year targeting illicit offenders who break the law. The bill, 412-1, was formulated to ease authorities stopping and tracking of possible funds being used for terrorist's attacks. Two top leaders of the House of Representatives, Majority Leader Richard K. Armey and House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert eliminated from the money-laundering bill a provision regarding Internet gambling. The FBI and other agencies preferred to have this provision incorporated in the Money Laundering Bill because it claimed that the Mob was using these gambling sites to launder money and they were afraid terrorists might try to do this as well. The White House has kept quiet publicly on this issue, however, administration officials joined hands with the credit card lobbyists since credit card companies pushed to strip the bill because they felt it would effect credit card use on gambling sites. Credit Card use is a primary way to gamble on line. Money laundering up until now has been a major activity in drug trafficking. This illegal transfer of funds through financial institutions has alerted government agencies to be more watchful of illegal transfer of funds in other criminal areas, particularly in the financing of terrorist organizations. Because of this bill, U.S. banks will have more difficulty in dealing with some overseas banks that are not bonafide, that is, they do not have an actual office site and are not associated with known banking institutions. Further, the U.S. banks must follow specific guidelines such as the closer monitoring of their transactions, particularly with so-called "private banking customers" who are very wealthy and with customers involved with other larger banking institutions such as Citigroup and JP Morgan-Chase. U.S. banks were pushing for wording in this bill that would allow the Secretary of the Treasury to free them from scrutiny in their dealing with overseas banks in countries that have softer laundering laws. Paul S. Sarbanes, the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, who has made considerable efforts in adopting laundering provisions, warns of the possibility of "a lot of mischief " in this legislation.
With the coming of the Internet Industry and gambling sites abroad, it has been theorized that Canada will soon legalize online gambling. However the Criminal Code of Canada restricts the way in witch online gambling is launched. Local governments are allowed to run Internet gambling but won't allow offshore sources to participate. Those cities's that do allow Internet gambling can only bet with places that permit online gambling aswell. Under Canada's legalization of online gambling, sports' betting is not allowed. Canada new to the online gambling world is taking baby steps in seeing it through. It seems that Canada's inexperience with land based casinos, presents a bigger challenge for them in introducing online gambling. Online Gambling is a whole new entity in itself. Perhaps the prudent measures they are taking are due to the easy access of online gambling, presenting an array of illegalities and addictions occurring.

As we advance into the future with a new thirsty driven technological generation, our scope of the online industry has widened. A new age phenomenon that is rapidly snowballing into an all-online world, has positioned itself in almost every home today. The days of ranting and raving about Pc's and the whole movement of the Internet emerging, has coiled down into a spinning comet that has paved the way for this new high- tech infinite industry. The rumored uttering of numbers and dollar signs bulging out of people's eyes has popularized a strong demand to get involved. A philosophical notion that the people of today feel the need to keep up with what's new and happening, in order to maintain a successful and prosperous future, has hit hard. The online industry has popularized itself by its billion-dollar label. Our exposure to entertainment and technology is our stimulus that fuels our imagination and the visual expectancy we demand. A mass urgency to create an online entertainment industry was quick to pass, marking it as a cornerstone for the gaming industry. Because of the staggering growth of the gaming industry, The American Gaming Association was on an advertising campaign mission to educate the masses of this new virtual versatile entertaining playground. The campaign set out to make a clearer understanding of the industry to the general public and decision-makers. A result of this successful mission is apparent, in that the online gaming industry is one of the highest-ranking businesses on the web today. Statistics show that Internet gambling revenue has grown from $1.2 billion in 1999 to %3.1 billion in 2001, and estimates show that by 2004 it will reach $6.3 billion.
The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma will meet with the mayor of Gary, Indiana, Scott King to discuss the possibility of the tribe claiming land from Indiana, in hopes of building a land-based casino. The Miami Express sent a letter to the mayor implying a lawsuit maybe filed in attempts to claim a 3.8-million acre site in Indiana. However, it seems The Miami Tribe is willing to cut a deal for less, in hopes of becoming partners with the city for mutual benefit. Mayor King said, "To me it's clear they're going to pursue the land claim." We should at least explore the opportunity here for mutual benefit. Because of a U.S. steel industry downfall, such a proposal may be beneficial in reshaping Gary's economy. Apparently, The Miami Tribe has no established sovereign land to begin with, and no sovereign land in Indiana as well, to build casinos. If a deal to purchase land in Gary passes, The Department of the Interior or Congress would have to agree on issuing sovereign rights over the site for the Miami Tribe.

Online Gambling has never been more popular. It's easy access and hassle free environment, has sent a stir running through the medical community, on the apparent rise in gambling addictions. Many related situations have surfaced, as addicts seek help and treatment. People are less aware and understanding of a gambling addiction, then to an alcohol or drug problem. Your automatic response in dealing with such a problem would be to lock your mother's china and hide grandma's old jewels. Unfortunately there is more to a gambling addiction then you think. Studies have shown that there maybe a correlation between the amounts of dopamine released in the brain, to that of the effects a euphoric drug, like cocaine has. Dopamine is a strong chemical that controls behavior, which may in fact indicate that a gambling addiction is an impulse-controlling disorder. The signs of a gambling addiction are similar to that of a person diagnosed with a compulsive disorder. Being preoccupied with gambling, finding ways to get money you don't have, and the high increase on money bet is similar to the behavior of a drug addict or alcoholic. When aware of the problem, addicts tend to become irritable and restless when an attempt to stop on their own doesn't work.
The Trump Taj Mahal was subject to theft last weekend. Bradley Vick already charged in early February for theft in the amount of $21,000 in chips from Caesars Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, found himself again facing the law. He was caught on Saturday in New York with twenty-four $5,000 denomination chips valued at $180,000 after two under-age girls told authorities that Mr.Vick raped them. They claimed that they were forced into prostitution. Jerry Varson, a spokesman for the New York Police Department, said that rape is a more serious offense to be charged with. For now it looks like Bradley Vick will stay put behind bars until further investigations are completed.
Neteller's work dynamics run a bit differently. Net-teller provides a InstaCash system for its U.S. residents which is linked to a personal bank account, Net-tellers corporate bankaccount, Visa or MasterCard, an electronic fund raiser and the Fcash.com online cash transfer system. For international customers only credit cards or direct cash deposits are permissible. It sounds too good to be true. There are some drawbacks that can be found only in "fine print" by clicking on the log -in section of the site. One would expect that a company trying to establish a credible line and trustworthy reputation would be honest and straightforward with what is really involved and not resort to this "fine-line" strategy. Anyway,expect two to four business days for electronic fund transfers from a personal bank account, and anticipate receiving a service fee for any credit card transactions. Also, withdrawal options are limited. Credit Card withdrawals are based on the amount of cash deposited. For example, if you won $500, you would only be allowed to withdraw $100. Using the Electronic fund transfer option will take one to two days, and there is a $25 fee for checks delivered by FedEx. Regular mail is free of charge. Your best bet would be to use the InstaCash service, though Neteller does not promote it, because there are no better options.
