    When a joint decides it doesn't accept US players it's usually TOO LATE. Kinda like spooked local BMs changing their phone #s. I don't wish this shit on anyone. In my book the consequences are "cruel and unusual punishment". Been through this stuff many years ago and it almost broke me financially.

    Not sure I understand the story. Is it an offshore book that was doing bad stuff ? Or locals that have off shore websites set up?

    should have done something legal like selling lottery tickets or horse racing or dog racing or slots or video poker or live table games or jai-alai or keno or riverboat gambling or card rooms...fuck are you thinking letting people have an opinion on the amount of points scored between the 49ers and the Raves?!?!?!

    Wouldn't it be much easier, efficient and cheaper to legalize it with -108 or lower and put Locals out of business? Would have to private sector though cuz the government running it would be out of business or charge -130 just to break even.

    Why wouldn't they just run a book here in the US, seems as though its pretty well brushed under table by the law anyway. Start fucking taking money away from the US and this is what happens sooner or later.

    Legends Sports (SBR rating A+) gaming license has been revoked in Panama. As a result, Legends has ceased accepting wagers and is in the process of implementing their contingency plan having player funds assumed by an A rated sportsbook. Players will be contacted within 48 hours with new account information. A minimal 2X play-through will be required prior to any cashout. This balance takeover is for players that held deposited funds with Legends; not users that had private arrangements.

    I don't typically comment on political issues, but Homerplayer really nailed it with his post above. Especially the first paragraph. If I ever met John Kyle I'd choke him out. It would be worth the year or two in jail.

    Our government and laws have always been full of hypocrisy and arbitrary judgments.

    I mean, hell, does the government truly feel at age 18 a citizen is responsible enough to join the military and protect/fight/die for his country but is not responsible enough to drink a beer or gamble in a casino?
