Online Gaming Restrictions

U.S. Government Bans Cash Virtual Gambling

In my previous life (before Trend Hunter) I was an online gambler. Millions of other Americans enjoyed the challenge of grabbing a table anytime day or night and gamble away their hard-earned money.

Sometimes I would lose up to $20 a weekend! All that stops a year from now as the U.S. government is making it illegal for credit card companies to transfer funds for gambling. Democrats, banks and credit card companies all oppose the ban. Wanna bet it gets changed?
