Hi Folks across the ocean..
I understand, that from an American point of view this kind of =
restriction
looks strange and is against your act of freedom, however here in Europe
gambling is a state controlled business that supports the state economy =
and
in most European countries gambling outside state controlled casinos is
simply illegal and forbidden by law.
So I doubt, that the European Court would really rule agaist this....
Each country has specific laws, that othewr nations do not not =
understand
and we all should accept that.
Imagine, if kids in the US would be able to order Cannabis from =
Online-shops
in the Netherlands (as it is leaglized there)through mail order? Would =
you
or your legislation agree to that?
See..
I hope you don't mind this commentary from a European...
