    Hello,

    I think you could pull in alot more people using the 'wccasino' if they
    didn't have to download / use wcnav... if the casino clients were java based, anyone with a java-enabled browser could use them...

    Your Ideas???

    I would agree with you.. seems to me as if most of the novice users
    of the inet don't even know how to download.. so if it doesn't just
    pop up like magic.. they move on.. (or think its broke).

    And as long as were shooting at the WISH LIST! add in an option to
    let the players play for REAL money! We want their credit card :)
    and a few more poker games!

    Cheers,
    Gary

    Gary,

    I agree.. there are lots of other 'casino' based web sites out there that
    are java based... and the games are great but they lack the features that
    wins provides... plus with java you're not limiting your players to those that use windows...

    i hope you are joking about this. (at least if you're in the USA) you
    cant run a gambling site in the US, you have to be off the coast some-
    where. Yahoo Internet Life just had an interesting article about the
    topic.

    Not only that, but if you are a US citizen, running a gambling site out
    of the country, the FBI will still go after you!

    Not only that, but even if your site is entirely legal, both VISA and MasterCard may refuse to honor charges customers make on your site! They
    both settled a case out of court where some lady in California lost
    thousands of dollars gambling online, and then sued MC and VISA (after
    they sued her for payment) for letting her gamble when it's illegal in California.

    At least one big bank is already saying they won't honor VISA charges to
    online gambling sites, and more are expected to follow suit.

    Good, maybe they might cause the end of all those gambling sites that
    think they have to spam my e-mail address.... While we're on whish's
    I'd like to see a fix for WC Navigator to learn how to quote without
    messing up .... Just moving the cursor past a line can cause the text to
    get messed up without deleting anything!
