    Washington State is shamelessly promoting gambling on its own website. http://www.walottery.com/

    Last I checked, playing the lottery is a form of gambling. Their own site gives info on how to play, winning numbers, etc.

    Does the law not apply to them as well?

    Maybe this will provide some legal leverage to go after people who spam blogs and forums with adds for online poker, etc?

    By all means, let's attack free enterprise and free speech, let's start with this internet site which promotes gambling.

  5. Legal Gambling Website in Washington by paladinwannabe2 · · Score: 4, Interesting · on WA Law Means Linking to Gambling Websites Illegal

    Something tells me that the Washington State Lottery will still get to promote itself online... apparently they also were even going to sell lottery tickets online but I can't find evidence of them still doing it.

  6. Re:and right now .. live from Washington by nacturation · · Score: 1 · on WA Law: 5 Years in Prison for Gambling Online

    Here's a great test for the courts. Offer an online service to play Washington's Quinto game or any of the other games they offer. Naturally, this is a service for the physically impaired who aren't able to go out and purchase lottery tickets / scratch cards themselves. Use Washington state's own products against them to demonstrate how stupid this morality legislation is. Land of the free, my ass.

    They're not trying to legislate away social problems. They're trying to protect their monopoly.

    Remember, kids! Gambling is wrong, unless it generates revenue for the state!

    Well, anti-gambling laws are generally based on one of two things, either morality or mitigating social consequences.

    There's a third thing: the state not wanting competition for their state-run lottery.

    Talk about hypocrisy...

  10. Look at this Gambling site: by olddoc · · Score: 1 · on WA Law: 5 Years in Prison for Gambling Online

    http://www.walottery.com/ The Washington State Lottery. Sounds like a bunch of mobsters wants you to use their racket or they will send goons with guns to your house and send you away. What's it say in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, "Governments are formed to ensure the blessings of Liberty and provide the population with gambling??"
