Fingers crossed

I just can not understand what they are trying to do - Ok the companies are offshoring to ensure that they pay minimal corporation tax, but ultimately the country taxes the players on winnings. Yes its difficult to prove, but they get more money by letting people play and taxing them than making it illegal...

Unless they want an additional 'fee' for allowing usage in the US - Which we shall not call a Tax as that would be wrong!!! and then also tax the end user.

I remember Benny putting up a post after the WSOP a couple of years ago where the Final Table winnings, the various tax authorities took something like 50-55% of the Prize money

Somewhere, someone is getting very rich out of all this, and everyone wants some of it.... Its just not you or me Herbie!
