New Lotto Update

[Offshore-Wealth.com]

Sorry but this article does not have anything to do with online lotteries. If you read the headings and the actual article he is strictly speaking of "internet sports bookings" so you are comparing apples to oranges..... Try again if you must just make sure you get the right article next time.

Funny,

I went through all this as well in my search, and I had to check, was I the only one who clearly saw Internet Sports as subject? Not even close to what lotto is, but we all know what the game is, right?

Good luck to all, Mike

Hello Byran.
I am very excited about this, but, Im a bit concerned that people who have very little marketing experience on the net will struggle to hit the high numbers in sales, can we expect any help, thanks, Trendy

That's not how the code reads. Here is a copy of the code you quoted
-Alan


TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 95 > § 1953 Prev | Next

§ 1953. Interstate transportation of wagering paraphernalia


Release date: 2005-08-03

(a) Whoever, except a common carrier in the usual course of its business, knowingly carries or sends in interstate or foreign commerce any record, paraphernalia, ticket, certificate, bills, slip, token, paper, writing, or other device used, or to be used, or adapted, devised, or designed for use in (a) bookmaking; or (b) wagering pools with respect to a sporting event; or (c) in a numbers, policy, bolita, or similar game shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years or both.

(3) the carriage or transportation in interstate or foreign commerce of any newspaper or similar publication, or
(4) equipment, tickets, or materials used or designed for use within a State in a lottery conducted by that State acting under authority of State law, or
(5) the transportation in foreign commerce to a destination in a foreign country of equipment, tickets, or materials designed to be used within that foreign country in a lottery which is authorized by the laws of that foreign country.

this section is about the "Interstate transportation of wagering paraphernalia"
It has nothing to do with playing in one.

Could you please scan the code and apply it, anybody can type what ever they want, anybody can change a word or two and come up with a totally different meaning, this is a serious document and NOT to be taken LIGHTLY!

I am not accusing anyone of manipulating the CODE, but I need to warn anyone that there are people out there that live their lives by codes and are monitoring these kinds of sites, so please, lets not try to bring in unwanted issues that will jeopardized means of communications that we have such free access to!

Thank you, just a suggestion!

Thanks TRENDY,I have the same question and I'm sure we're not the only ones wondering the same thing. I would love to participate but don't have the slightest idea how to do so inregard to the selling of tickets.

I was just checking you out to see if you were sincere in your quest for answers. Its all good.

Well, I am a Pips member and I live in the USA, so I am glad that they brought this issue into light.

The more I hear about this the more I am certain that this is a non-USA type lotto event that is launching. Oh well.... time to continue making money elsewhere... ;)

Ok, how does this apply to all the gambling sites on the net like the casinos and other lotteries which do email offers to americans and permit US citizens to participate without any restrictions or info related to laws? We don't see the law going after them in any big way, do we?

Also, if it should come down the line that we US members could not participate, we could always donate a little to help victims of disasters, which is not purchasing, getting revenues or being an affilliate. Just helping disaster victims. I would love to see some lawyers fall flat on their face with trying to prosecute such generosity.

All Bryan needs to do is keep all receipts of furnished AID to victims of any disaster, to show to legal proponents as proof of the purpose of the Lotto. If the sums spent are a large percentage of profits(income after expenditures like member payouts, overhead, ect..), it will have a stronger defense for the Lotto function, as in opposition to a Lotto that merely rakes in the profits.
