I think this would change the way people perceive online gambling. Under this invention people’s views and fears of playing for money online would instantly be eliminated.
Brilliant! I am not an online gambler but I can see this without question as a viable method, with easy access and it provide a level of confidence for payment as it would offer a payout via a local merchant. I have always been suspicious of using my credit card for gambling and ensuring I would actually get my winnings. This would eliminate all of the fear and add all of the fun! Great job guys!
This is an amazing concept. I would play right now.
Another great idea! I will be able to play online without worrying about the security of my personal information. I have never played online, but I will try it now. Let's get it rolling!
Knowing the Lottery Corporations would run online gaming is a comfortable thought. Knowing I could buy a ticket today, play tonight and cash in tomorrow is exciting. Knowing the process is as simple 123 ABC is a peace of mind. There is one thing I don't know ......When can I play????
The money remains in your area, and is put back in the community, ie. hospital, charities, and so on.
Since there are many scenarios unfolding in online gaming, it is hard to be sure of anything. Will the vendor risk their rights to issue state lottery tickets to use this format will be a big question. Since the feds have pretty much admitted it can't regulate the banks moving the money back and forth, I believe it will still be easier to have 1 credit card for your gaming on line and access it without leaving your home.
I am always scared to give any of my personal information on line. If I could just buy a ticket and limit myself to the ticket I would be able to budget my play money and give it a shot at on-line gambling. I have never had the chance to go to a casino and with this method that you propose I will be able to experience this right from home without any personal disclosure.
I can honestly say I would play more online games for real money with this idea. It would add much more legitimacy to the world of online gambling!
The web always had a problem with everything that involves personal information. There has always been government and personal issues with on line gaming. This will put the governments in the forefront in gaming. The aspect of supplying personal information at ease. This is truly 21st gaming.
A person can trust the Lottery Corporation a lot more than a private online poker room, plus there is no need to divulge personal information. How brilliant & so simple !!
How soon can this be up and running!!! I want to play.
How are you going to claim a prize over $200 in Ontario? (Answer: This decision is left to each individual corporation. California might do things differently than Ohio kind of thing. However, you mentioned Ontario. Currently the OLG allows up to $300 at all retailers and $995 to be claimed at certain retailers (usually those that sell Nevada tickets) and even higher amounts at casinos. This is just simple regulations and each jurisdiction will have their own.)
Great idea, now its time to turn it into cash ;-)
It is a Great idea.
Would give it a try, not a big gambler, but hey might be fun.
I don't really see people wanting to play something online, so running out to the store, getting a ticket, coming back and playing.. losing, and going back to the store. I think that most people that want to play online will pay online.
This is the ultimate patent, I don't understand what the hold up is...This is a no-brainer. The Lottery Corporations should be all over this concept. What are they waiting for....let's get going with Game With Us...we want to play...now!!!
I'm not surprised that Game with us is popular. I for one will play online when it comes out, otherwise I would never do it. (Note: I think this is the most rewarding comment we've been receiving from "Non Gamblers". People who would never dream of playing online for real money are saying, "I'd try Game With Us". Hearing those comments is something we are really excited about. People who would NEVER play online for money under the current system, possibly now playing cards, bingo, slots and the like for real money. When my Mother told me she'd actually play and the multiply reasons why, I was actually even taken back myself. I knew we'd be creating new players, but I honestly don't think any of us, could ever imagine just how many that will be! Thanks for the compliment.)
Honestly, how can't this work? It almost seems to flawless and I just can't figure out what the catch is? I am almost upset I can't play right now!
OUTSTANDING IDEA!!! Companies that allow you to purchase things without any personal information will strive in the future. The lack of personal information associated with this idea makes it no different from playing in a casino or buying a lottery ticket. Until you hit the jackpot, no one cares who you are and that is the way it should be.
Even though I don't own a credit card I would never give it online anyway. I don't trust online casinos but I would trust the lottery corporation. I can still play. This is really cool.
States are hurting for revenue. In California the Lottery will have to fight the tribes to make this happen and they currently own our legislature. This is a major win for the states, their education system and their infrastructure.
The lack of personal information required to play and boundaries placed between competing countries makes this a winning idea. In the USA this is exactly what is needed because it continues to allow each State to make their own rules if they choose to offer this in their State. The way gambling on the Internet is currently offered is totally unacceptable because there is no commission that oversees things are fair.
There certainly would be another explosion of new players playing poker online.
The lotteries should all do this if the law allows them. How do you know when you play online that a few employees aren't looking at your hole cards. This is why I'd never play blackjack and slots online. Do you really think the casinos online let you win their money? I'd trust this approach over any other, even if regulated.
I really love the fact I can play instantly. I did try to open an account in Poker Stars but was totally discouraged with the options to open a simple $100 account. I gave up and still have never put in my own money. If I want to run to the corner store and grab a ticket I can play once I get back, not having to wait for money to be processed.
This is the best solution I have heard. I
like it!
There has been a lot of cheating by the current
market because it is not being regulated. How do you know
you aren't playing against someone who is seeing your cards?
I don't think this is perfect, but I do
think it is the perfect solution. (Note: Well said.
We have tried to blow holes in this for well over a year and
simply cannot. It may not be flawless, but the current
system is full of flaws that Game With Us eliminates. Game
With Us is a more honest game and we think anyone playing on the
Internet or anywhere for that matter, deserves an honest game.
Thank You!!!)
