@haralabob you haven't seen anything like this brother. It's going to surprise even you.
This poker player agent above sent that out at same time this was announced:

Mike Colbert, sports book director for Cantor Gaming and manager of the M Resort's race and sports book, was arrested Wednesday by state gaming agents in conjunction with a warrant filed by the District Attorney's office in Queens County, N.Y.
Gaming and legal sources confirmed the charges involve PinnacleSports.com, one of the largest off-shore sports wagering websites. Sources said agents for website were arrested in several cities Wednesday

If you've got money at online betting site, you might want to know. Looks like the feds might be making a run at online sportsbooks like they did with poker.

pinnaclesports.scom only one named in the article. Who knows what the gov't is up to at this point is a guess. Maybe Cantor sportsbook guy is going down for working with the site, but seems to be bigger since they arrested the site's reps in other cities. Their website is still up though.

I know there are some poker sites. sealswithclubs.eu is one I think. Keep in mind, I'm not a gambler, so I don't keep up much with the industry. I am, however, a Bitcoin advocate.
And Bitcoin is perfect for online gambling. No more troubles transferring funds in and out.
No more worrying about your money being seized by governments.
Relative anonymity.
No transaction fees.
It has all the features you gamblers need. Now you just need someone to fill the market with sports gambling (if someone hasn't already)

thanks for the info tigerlicks and wikitiger

Even if this isn't legit, any US facing gambling site, it's only a question when the sites cut and run with the money and not if IMO. Either due to government prosecution or other reasons. Although pretty interesting to see pinnacle involved in this, they have always been regarded as one of the most trustworthy books online.
