Remember all of those small countries that became havens for off-shore

not only tolerate them but perhaps benefit from their presence. Oops, I
didn't mean to preach this much.


Speaking of online casions the easy to eliminate them is for the us government
to just ban ads for online casions. The casinos rely on ads for their customers
and most of the large advertisment providers with the big exposure that the
casinos need are based in the us. problem solved. The casinos go out of business
and everyone is happy.

I think you have a First Amendment problem when attempting to ban truthful,
nondeceptive, advertising. To ban speech based upon the content of the speech, the
governmental regulation must pass the the the least restrictive method of advancing
an important governmental objective (or something like that, I haven't looked at
constitutional law in a very long time). I would suggest that this is a standard
that is almost impossible to meet for truthful speech.
