It is to be housed in a former bank facility. Spurway has sought permission from Edinburgh's licensing board to get this venture off the ground. Betfair is cited as Spurway's partner. The betting exchange concept is a new happening. Rather than one going to a bookie, "punters" can bet on the internet against each other. Combining a bookie shop and cafe, and betting exchange was the straightforward plan devised by Spurway. Spurway had in mind to establish a sort of "stock exchange" as opposed to a "bookmaker's shop" whereby trading shares would be between the players trading odds with each other. Spurway met resistance to his request from Ladbrokes and William Hall. However, the Edinburgh board allowed Spurway to go ahead with his venture. Ladbrokes and Hall claimed that what Spurway was asking to do was illegal. It is believed that the board based their decision on Spurway's experience as a bookmaker and Betfair's activities in the Betting Levy scheme. Spurway intends to open at least 100 shops in the U.K. In order to fund easibet.net Spurway sold his Larkspur chain of stores.

Richard Parker, a spokesman for CasionUS said, "The decision to protect Americans by ensuring that Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction is the only decision that makes sense.

While the US congress is still in limbo on their stance on the issue of online gambling, there are some congressmen that are pushing and trying to speed up the situation and want to see a ban on Internet Gambling implemented as soon as possible. Many gaming "goers" have expressed their concerns on this issue and thus believe that their first amendment rights are not being kept. A loud outpour of such a free- will act to be outlawed, has sent the Interactive Gaming Council {IGC} out in protest and are advising people to also go out and lobby against the possible legislation prohibiting online gambling. The IGC's appeal is as follows: Are you a US resident and enjoy participating in online entertainment, whether gambling or otherwise? Would you like to express your views about U.S. legislative efforts to impinge on your freedom of choice? Tell your Representative and Senators to oppose the so-called Unlawful Internet Gambling Funding Prohibition Acts!

Last week, judges on the state's highest court revealed some significant disagreements among themselves over whether Indian-run casinos are legal in New York. In a 60-page ruling, the seven Court of Appeals judges sent mixed signals about the question of the validity of Indian gambling. One of the judges indicated the constitution prohibits such operations in New York. Three of the judges noted they believe the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act supersedes the state constitution and permits Indian-run casinos. The other three judges did not give a hint last week how they'd rule on the constitutional question. Their opinions are crucial- a state Supreme Court justice is expected to decide a case in Albany, challenging the constitutionality of Indian operations. This case will probably become the make-or-break case on the question of the casinos' legality when it reaches the Court of Appeals. The lawyer who is arguing against the casinos, Cornelius Murray, said he wants the number of legal venues to stay at three. He is not seeking to have existing casinos closed, and he probably realizes that there are very few, if any, judges that would order thriving enterprises to close- about 5,000 people work at the three existing Indian casinos today. Court of Appeals' Judge George Bundy Smith was unequivocal last week about what the constitution says about casino gambling. The constitution forbids gambling, except for limited exceptions, and prohibits commercialized gambling, he said. If the elected representatives of the people want to change the policy, they should begin the process of amending the constitution. The three dissenting judges, Richard Wesley, Susan Phillips and Victoria Graffeo, agreed with Smith. They indicated that the federal Indian gaming act supersedes the constitution's prohibitions against casinos. However, Wesley has been confirmed by the U.S. senate to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals and will be leaving the state Court of Appeals within the next few weeks. His successor will be nominated in a couple of months. Murray is confident on the underlying constitutional question, and is eager to see how the case before Teresi will turn out when it reaches the state Court of Appeals, a process that could take a year or more.
85 percent of Americans view online gaming as an acceptable activity for themselves or others, an increase from 79 percent in the previous year. The increased acceptance levels could be found across all demographic levels. Adults 21 to 39 are leading the way in their acceptance of gaming as a mainstream entertainment activity and valuable contributor to the U.S. economy. The survey reveals even stronger acceptance of casinos among young adults. An overwhelming 91 percent of adults ages 21 to 39 said gaming is acceptable for themselves or others, compared with 81 percent of Americans over age 50. The survey also reveals that 54 percent of Americans would favor the introduction of casino gaming into their area because of its widespread economic benefits. AGA President and CEO Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr. said that "The sustained growth of commercial casinos indicates we have matured as an industry. We will not only survive the tough economic times but thrive alongside state and local economies as long as they continue to apply rational tax policies. Combined with our consistently high levels of public support, this bodes well for the future of gaming." The AGA represents the commercial casino-entertainment industry by addressing federal legislative and regulatory issues. The association also serves as a clearinghouse for information, develops educational and advocacy programs, and provides leadership on industry-related issues of public concern.
