Larry Walters, the lawyer, saw this also and wrote a letter to the editor:
I read, with dismay, the article regarding the potential charges being considered based on participation in online poker betting. As an attorney practicing in the area of online gambling, I can say that such charges are rare, and not well founded. The Internet is not a medium that is subject to regulation by state law. Under the Commerce Clause to the U.S. Constitution, international business such as the Internet can only be regulated by federal, not state, law. The federal Justice Department does not waste its time pursuing small time bettors, and neither should the local police. Gambling is a social issue, and one that is not effectively solved by the initiation of criminal prosecution. The best bet is to leave regulation of Internet gambling to the feds.
PayPal was pressured by a state and they paid millions?

What a joke… LOL…
I think the police must be bored – and Mr. Reed has a very high opinion of Dartmouth students –
Quote:gambling addicts plague Dartmouth’s campusNot wise to speculate like that, Mr. Reed. You’re supposed to be a counselor, not a detective, and you obviously didn’t do your homework.
Especially when it comes to poker – which is considered a game of skill in many states, as opposed to a game of chance, which is what gambling is generally defined as.
I’m on the fence as to Larry’s argument. Not sure how much weight that argument will carry.
What a typical police approach. Target nonsense crime to give the community the impression that you’re actually doing something.
Dartmouth Review. Enough said.

It was Missouri and it is what started this whole thing.
