Title: Safe Port Act (Online Gambling in the US) Post by: cacba on July 16, 2010, 11:23:47 AM Arent bitcoins the ideal way of transferring money to/from online gambling websites as they are anonymous, which avoids the safe port act entirely.
If the bitcoin exchanges work then the US$ <-> bitcoin is easy. All that is left is a gambling website that accepts bitcoins. Why doesnt this exist?

Title: Re: Safe Port Act (Online Gambling in the US) Post by: cacba on July 16, 2010, 11:51:34 AM Hmm, it does exist but no poker. No explicit odds.
Though it is interesting, its surprising that it isnt tied into an exchange from US <-> Bitcoin.

I suspect they are not as anonymous as you think they are.

They = bitcoinsTitle: Re: Safe Port Act (Online Gambling in the US) Post by: Babylon on July 16, 2010, 09:42:48 PM wasn't e-gold shut down for facilitating gambling? I don't think bitcoins can be, since they are a decentralized p2p system, however the exchange sites certainly can.
Title: Re: Safe Port Act (Online Gambling in the US) Post by: FreeMoney on July 16, 2010, 10:20:56 PM I am very interested in playing Texas Hold'em for BitCoins. I don't know how I can help, I'm not much of a programer, but I would consult for free on the gameplay side of things. Maybe even put up some seed money. And I would definitely play some poker.

I don't know how effectively they are working at the moment, but they aren't out of business yet.

Sure they can spend 4months and $3M to hunt down and harass someone who is exchanging $2k/day. But if there are 528 more all around the world they might not even bother stopping the first one.
