DENVER Lawmakers have made every effort to try to end online gambling, a CBS4 investigation bureau disclosed how gamblers still manage to do gambling. CBS4’s Rick Sallinger discovered an online gambling Web site. May be it looks like a game, but it’s serious business, a site named “Full Tilt Poker” Sallinger viewed $42,000 was on just one table. Online gambling was a $15 billion a year business until Congress put a major dent in it.

He said, “I had made several deposits on several different days to the poker room, but none of them were listed as ‘Full Tilt Poker.’ They were listed as different companies I had never heard of.” In his monthly credit card statement bill those charges were appeared in the name of very unclear or difficult to understand words so that no one can understand that these charges are relevant to internet gambling. Assistant of U.S. Attorney Loren Washburn said “These charges do carry heavy penalties, they are serious crimes.”
