Gambling at the online casinos in
the state of Washington remains a
legal no-no, after the latest appeal
to overturn the law making it
illegal for residents to gamble
online was shut down. For years now
Washington state has considered
online gambling of any form illegal,
including gambling at the online
casinos, and even went a step
further to make it a class C felony.
Although no case of any gambler
being jailed is known at this time,
it remains quite scary to face
felony for playing $100 bucks at the
blackjack table or a few hand of
poker, among with burglars and drug
pushers. And actually the poker
players are currently the ones
fighting the insane law, although
without much success.
Lee
Rousso, the regional director of the
Poker Player Alliance, is the face
on the appeal to overturn the online
gambling law in Washington state.
Rousso gave it a shot last year,
fighting hard for the anti online
gambling law to be taken off the
books, but failed. Another appeal
was scheduled for the end of March
and unfortunately the results are
equally grim - three judges rejected
the appeal and online casinos remain
outside the law in the State of
Washington.
