Yes, you are right. These “seperate industries” should be brought together as they can learn a lot from each other. For one thing, people should rid themselves of their prejudiced beliefs that gambling is bad. Tell that to the guy who lost $30k on his house in recent years.
btw, I received this message from Betdaq 2 weeks ago.
“Dear Member,
We have received notification that our banking partners, Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBSG) has recently had cause to review its gaming policy in The Netherlands and Switzerland. As a consequence, RBSG is no longer able to offer use of its banking services for facilitation of any gambling activity which occurs in The Netherlands and Switzerland.
As a result you will no longer be able to use your credit card to deposit or withdraw on the BETDAQ/BetMate/BetChronicle website.”
