So just for followup purposes I decided to call Moneybookers to see if any of the regulations had changed for the U.S. when it comes to transferring monies from gaming sites. Not that many of the members need to be concerned, but there is chance by March 2013 the gaming regulations may be changing in the U.S. At least per Moneybookers support! I guess the U.S. is to be implementing some type of bill that would potentially allow U.S. citizens to use Moneybookers to transfer funds. I'm sure there's more to this and it may have something to do with addressing the whole gaming regulations / requirements here in the U.S.
I guess I'm only hoping for something to change, but we will see!

green,you really should move to Canada mate. They seem to be more relaxed as to gambling than the good old US of A. It probably wouldn't take you that long to win the money to buy a house with all the bonuses and prizes you are racking up here. seriously though what are the US government thinking about,they're living in the dark ages with their stance on online gambling,i think.

The united states is a greedy country , that bleed's it's public for all the tax dollars they can get, that's why online gaming isn't allowed. they havn't been able to come up with a way to tax it yet, if you win 100 million dollars in their lottery, after fees and tax's you end up with aprox 45 million. so americans will be able to play as soon as it's taxed..

That I do not disagree with. This country is full of greed, crime and selfishness for the most part. I'm not saying there are not good people and caring people, but today's government is full of a bunch of losers who never performed a hard days work in their life, but want to take money from every hard working U.S. citizen that lives. I could go on and on criticizing the U.S. government, but until the whole regime is overthrown by a new conservative system with people who really care about the well being of this country and it's future generations there's not a thing that even 100,000 people could change in the U.S. I would like to know why it is though an American citizen can't spend their already taxed money on whatever we want and your right again. It's because they want to tax that same money again and again. WE work, pay taxes out of our pay check and then, everything we purchase with the money we work for which has already been taxed, they want to tax again. If I could find a job for what I've done my entire life outside the U.S. I would seriously think about relocating.

Thats not only true for the U.S. ... We also get taxed for everything in the Netherlands.. Same thing i mean we only have Holland casino alowed in the Netherlands. They tax any and everything related with gambling, lottery , casino , sratch cards etc etc We also pay tax with our already taxed money again and again.
So if you want to escape taxes dont come to the Netherlands either...

At the end if something changes or not, depends from the actions of the few who think like they are the only ones And even if you want to accept their decisions or not in most cases you cant do much about it.
After all that long wait for the reopening of Full Tilt, May next year doesnt seem to far away i guess
