Default Do you think there will be a huge increase in people claiming bankrupcy and going to counselling?

With all the extra gambling opportunities online?There are more bingo and poker sites being advertised all over the media. Are more people going to get hooked?

More people are getting into debt and losing their homes than ever because of the current governments policies, tax, tax tax. At least its people choice to gamble.

You could make the same argument for many things out there, but the bottom line is that it's always a choice. You have to choose to gamble, and wind up gambling out of control. Will more people try it because of advertising, I don't think so. I think what's more likely, is that people did themselves into debt over something they can't control, such as the rising cost of gas. $4 a gallon is pretty steep.

The number one cause of bankruptcy in the US is health care costs. I'd say that's far more concerning than if someone plays poker on the Internet.This is a free country, if you are going to get into banning online gambling sites you are copying countries like China, Cuba, Iran, and so on. Do we really want to model our society after communism?
