I am of the opinion that some sort of crackdown will happen eventually (don't know when obviously), and I'd be quite happy to not be part of it.
Any references on where do you get this info? hasnt heard anything related to this thing yet
I want to make this crystal clear: I have based my decision on publicly available information. That some sort of crackdown will happen eventually is my personal opinion. I do not know if it will happen or when. I just don't want to find out the hard way.
I'm a bit hesitant to talk too much about this topic in public because it's a bit touchy. Anyone should feel free to get in touch by email (
henry@fastslots.co) or pm anytime.
I got your explanation via PM and I do respect your decision regarding this matter, wise decision Henry
I still don't think that this is necessary, the US is shutting down gambling sites which they think were/are running in the country and they're doing that because these sites were unlicensed. Bitcoin AFAIK is considered legal in US and if a player is playing at a site which doesn't comes under the US jurisdiction, it should be fine. I don't think they can shut-off/raid a site outside of US.
Well regarding this, Henry has made it clear that the reason for this will be most likely precautions to avoid things from happening in the future and of course no one would be wanting the feds to be knocking on your front door in the morning
Yes this is exactly what happened when online gaming was huge back in 2000's. It started getting banned because many large websites couldn't afford to pay the huge licensing fees and keep up with regulation. In the near future there will be more and more regulations towards online bitcoin mining.
Right , this could be why it is best to avoid this matter here rather than having some problem in the future since no one will know hows the future might shift and Henry has mentioned in the OP that he cant afford the license yet .That is why this precautions are being taken
