Default No wonder the feds associate online gambling with terrorism

Another eye opener for me as legions of folks use funding companies under fake, made up names.

So if I understand this correctly,

to avoid sending up any red flags you create a false identity,

even though one out of millions of online gamblers may have been prosecuted,

but transactions under a false alias certainly won't draw any overt attention?

so exactly how are the books supposed to figure out if the ecommerce company is creating bogus accounts, or it's just another one of their punters?

my personal experience has generally been that deceit creates alot more problems than it ever solves.

Take care,
TA
