I do not know about the majority of all members here but I am just happy with the recent events that led to the failure of British bookmaker’s seven-year bid to overturn a Dutch injunction against it taking bets from people living in Holland. This would mean that Britain and other EU countries can ban foreign online gambling sites which in my opinion is harmful and should never have been permitted at all. In the first place every country has got their own form of legal betting establishments like the lotteries and sports bets which are more moderate and controlled. As compared to these online betting sites no matter how legitimate it may be can be a form of adverse uncontrolled vice which we may never even know if they have legitimate business partners or financing partners or clean finances. And when things do get out of hand these operators would just have no legal obligations to any countries who in the first place were never registered or regulated. Are you in favor of this ban or against it, here? Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1283947/Online-gambling-sites-banned-EU-bars-Ladbrokes-taking-Dutch-bets.html

For me it honestly doesn't matter one way or the other. I've never really been one that was interested in gambling and online betting is something that has never had any kind of an appeal for me. I've never understood why there are people that enjoy spending time online playing poker because to me it has always seemed like a waste of both time and money. Now, if I was to go to a casino, I enjoy it but that is partially because of the social aspect.

I think that these online game sites need not be banned at all.Just regularize them with strict laws and enforce them properly.personally I love the lotteries and gambling but am not an addict to anything.Some people needs overnight luck and that is possible through lotteries.
