Why florida is not allowed to play for cash and prizes on world winner.?

Why are residents of Florida not allowed to upgrade in Chess Challenger  to get paid for the games we play ? If we are allowed to play the lottery, bingo, also play Chess here in Jacksonville Fl. for money, or Go to the dog track, to make money  which is all gambling, then why can't we play for cash and prizes on. WorldWinner ? Ace

Dear Albert, peculiarly, I asked myself the very same question you posted just today 8/8 when I tried to upgrade  on world winners and after entering my CC information, a message "in your state this is legally not permitted" (I am in the St. Pete Area) appeared.  I did some research online about it and it seems that while in office, of all the irresponsible and stupid things dubya did, he encored it all and banned online gaming for FL residents.  I had won 8 eight jeopardy games that would have put  $2,000 much needed funds in my pocket and, having no job, limited resources and living on foodstamps, this would have helped me tremendously financially.  I am pretty upset speak angry about this ban also, but unfortunately my friend, thanks to dubya we are up a against a brickwall here I am afraid at this point Undecided Post back, I'll be back checking for it, thanks Smile Keen

 

Dear Albert: I am very sorry to hear about the troubles you have had to bear as of recent, you are not alone, but do have faith in God, He c-a-n change it all for the asking, trust me, I KNOW He can !

As for starting a petition to change the law for FL residents' online gaming, I want to say this:  The idea is indeed very spirited, but I for one do not put very much stock in such "actions" because I have seen too many of them started only to "die a natural death" along the way without ever having any effect for their cause.  Politicians are on a power trip and are not about to "dumb down" to us regular people who have an agenda different then theirs, one that would benefit u s ! All you have to do is look at the townhall gatherings on healthcare reform to see how much citizens' words and opinions count ! I have always been and am a UNpolitical person, I do not vote and I don't get involved.  But moreover and more importantly, what I AM is a born-again christian and serve a far higher ruler then earthly ones could ever be, a ruler who has the sole power to change anything and everything by a mere whisper ! Choose Jesus and rely on His power, not "Lawmakers" and "Politicians" ! Why ? Because Jesus S A V E S Laughing

However, if you choose to start such a "Petition" as you've mentioned you'd like to, I would indeed support your cause, no question.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding", Proverbs 3:5

Have  blessed day and all the best, Keen Smile Post back, I will be looking for it Laughing
