ANTHONY M asked:


Is a credit card breaking the law if it transacts with a gambling site? And if so, where do they stand legally when trying to recoup their money?
To my knowledge, this is a federal law.

Bigsky_52 asked:


I’ve heard that Canadians aren’t taxed on gambling winnings. But what if you’re a business? Suppose you have a business that consists of a computer running an arbitrage sports betting program. The business makes money, but via making online sports wagers. Would that still be untaxed? Or is it only for individuals? And are there any attorneys that specialize in this aspect of the Canadian tax law? Thanks.

SAILORSAM asked:


What’s next? Where does the government get off interfering with internet gambling or any other form of entertainment. I am sure this has to do with the I. R. S. not being able to stick their grubby hands into the pot and taking the “RAKE”. Any other real ideas?

mj asked:


My roommate had bad credit and purchased a couch under my name, proceeded to sell it on Ebay and then gamble the money away. Now a law firm has contacted me saying they are suing me and I will be responsible for attorney’s fees and court costs. My credit has been damaged anyway due to other things with my old roommate. Should I be worried that they will sue and force me to pay it by taking it out of my paycheck or taxes?
