LAS VEGAS, NV April 14, 2004--The first blog where people can discuss about legalizing (or not legalizing), regulating and taxing online casinos, is online at askwinner.com/blog

People supporting legalization say that online casinos is an entertaining activity; a natural partner of land based gaming in a Country where people play at casinos, racing tracks, boats; a soft way to provide financial means to school, health care and other public services without raising existing taxes, but just introducing a new taxable income.

People against legalization say that the age of people playing at online casinos can't be verified and minors can take their parents' card to play; the fairness of the game odds is not insured; the honesty of the online casinos are not guaranteed.

Franz R. Winner, AskWinner.com - AWCOM Inc. President, says: "In 2003, we received several emails from players who want to be kept informed on this topic and are supporting legalization of online casinos. What we need now is to hear the opinion of the American internet community at large. The debate has been around for years, now on askwinner.com/blog gaming legalization supporters and opponents are sharing their points of view and providing a clear sign to the people who legislate, in a year particularly hot from a political point of view".

Franz adds: "What we can say for sure from a practical point of view, is that in many countries online casinos are allowed, while US companies cannot run online casinos. This means US are losing everyday a huge amount of taxable profits which are going somewhere else. Imagine to have online casinos operated by leading land based US casinos: players from the whole world would play with them, generating taxable income for US. Instead of rises in tax or cuts in expenses, revenue of online casinos would provide a good source of assets to use for the benefit of US citizens".
