Opinion: FBI a tool in war of intimidation against online gaming

"The war of intimidation from the federal Department of Justice (DoJ) against Internet gambling has now reached the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This is no minor issue.

I have taught classes to the FBI, including on both Internet and Indian gaming. I have always found them to be professionals. They appreciate both their power and responsibility as the leading law enforcement agents of the federal government.

So I was shocked to see this on the official FBI website:

“If you’ve ever thought about visiting a cyber casino, here’s something you should know: it’s illegal to gamble online in the United States..."

That means:
...No placing cyber bets on sporting events or in virtual card games;
...No transferring money electronically for gambling; and
...No wagers in offshore Internet casinos even if you live in the U.S.”"
