Win or lose a fortune...wirelessly

[Jason Dunn]

<a href="http://www.pocketcasinos.com/">http://www.pocketcasinos.com/</a><br /><br />It was bound to happen - with the Pocket Casino software and a wireless Pocket PC, you can now place real bets and play a stakes game of blackjack. As if wireless data rates weren't bad enough, you can lose money in all new ways. <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" /> Or, looking on the bright side of things, you might win enough to cover the cost of your connection and then some. I'm not much of a gambler, but this sure looks interesting...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/pocketcasino.jpg" />

I've never done any online gambling. I'm curious about how this works from a legal standpoint. I know that gambling in North Carolina, for example, is not legal, but is it because this game's server is somewhere else that this can be done?

The servers are always in some remote offshore location like the Cayman Islands.

I would be very iffy about this, even if I was inclined to gamble outside of Vegas. But lots of people gamble online, this is almost the same thing (besides someone stealing your wireless signal.)
