http://www.encognitive.com "Whether it's in a casino or online, poker and other games of chance are becoming increasingly popular. It's not just men who are addicted, a growing number of women are becoming compulsive gamblers, too. Early Show correspondent Hattie Kauffman takes a closer look at the troubling trend," news anchor. "The reality is the longer you gamble compulsively, which is what I was doing, the more you become a compulsive liar," Melanie Morgan, former gambling addict. "In the 1980s Melanie Morgan was a successful television anchor until her gambling addiction cost her, her job and nearly destroyed her marriage," Hattie Kauffman, CBS national correspondent. "I would lie about where I was going, what I was doing, who I was with, how much money I was spending," Melanie Morgan. "Even her pregnancy did not stop Melanie from gambling," Hattie Kauffman. "Of course I was in a terrible environment, smoke-filled rooms, hardly taking care of myself. I was gambling until an hour before I gave birth," Melanie Morgan. "After her son was born, she often left the infant with an assortment of babysitters," Kauffman. "I remember packing up the baby one day and driving around to each of the card rooms where I thought she might be and finally locating her and taking the baby in its carrier and putting the baby in the middle of the poker table and saying, 'You got a choice. You want to play cards or you want to be a Mom?'" Jack Morgan, Melanie's husband. "I knew at that point I was in desperate trouble and I knew I was sick, sick, and needed help. And I still didn't want to stop," Melanie Morgan. "You might think the opportunity to gamble non-stop would be limited to a trip to Las Vegas or Atlantic City, but the temptation is everywhere. Visit here in Phoenix and you'll be greeted with the Arizona Casino guide, listing 22 casinos, dog racing, horse racing, bingo and more," Kauffman. "I won $10,000 playing bingo. It just hooks you right in," former compulsive gambler. "Slot machines," another compulsive gambler. "Mine wasn't slots, it was draw poker," another compulsive gambler. "I sat down with three women in recovery from compulsive gambling: Shannon, Freda, and Vicki," "Do you have any idea how much you've lost to gambling?" Kauffman. "I've lost $300,000. It was all of my retirement money," Vicki. "I have thought it was around $35,000 but my husband has stated that it's around $50,000," Shannon. "It was around $115,000 to $200,000," Freda. "But Freda lost a lot more than that. She lost a year of her life when she went to prison after stealing cash to gamble," Kauffman. "The sick compulsive gambler will do whatever they have to do to gamble," Freda. "It makes me think about a drug addict who steals to get the drugs," Kauffman. "It's an addiction. It is an addiction," Freda. "Psychologist Paul Good says that it used to be women used to gamble to escape their every day life, but now more are being lured simply by the action," Kauffman. "A sense of excitement, of being on the edge. You are literally holding your fate in your own hands at a poker table. For a women, that could be a powerful riveting experience," Paul Good, psychologist. "Is it a high? Is it a euphoria?" Kauffman. "Oh yes. Oh yes it is. It's like a drug," Freda. "Especially when you hear the bells ringing," background voice. "According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, in the 1980s just a handful of women sought treatment for gambling addiction. Today, almost half of those seeking help for gambling addiction are female," Kauffman. "You are going to see gambling take its place alongside alcoholism and drug abuse as being one of the most significant addictions of our time," Paul Good, Psychologist. http://www.youtube.com/GamblingVideos http://www.gamblinghelper.com http;//www.gamblinghelper.com/forum

Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative Supports Legislation to Remove Unnecessary Government Prohibition on Internet Gambling The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative announced its support for the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act, introduced today by Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA). The bill would create a taxation regime for online gambling companies to be licensed under the recently introduced Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (H.R. 2046). As Congress works to find funding for critical government programs, Congressman McDermott's legislation is expected to generate between $6 billion and $25 billion in revenues for the U.S. Treasury in the first five years of enactment. Congressman McDermott's legislation functions as a companion bill to the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, which would establish a licensing and enforcement framework for regulated Internet gambling in the U.S. For more information please visit www.safeandsecureig.org.
As new casinos open, is the gaming boom causing major gambling addiction to take hold?
Hypocritical congressmen exposed for kickbacks and special interest politics. The truth behind online gambling ban in America.
http://www.onlinecasinoreports.com Online Casino Reports Weekly Edition this time from CAP Spring Break in Limassol, Cyprus, where online casino and poker affiliates met for the annual affiliate event and a first of its kind Poker Conference.
Now that we known casinos will be here in Philly, it's time to address how our 'BILLION DOLLAR CASINO OPERATORS' have been given carte-blanche to 'FLEECE' and 'BREED' compulsive casino gamblers who will eventually become criminals. For over four years I've been addressing and proving that there is a major flaw in our gaming law and it's not where our casinos will be built and who owns them, its how there are no safeguards or provisions in place that will protect today's casino gamblers and future casino gamblers from becoming casino gambling degenerates. In other words, our casinos just like those in other states are operating with no consumer protection, they're operating like amusement parks with no safety belts or cages on the rides. And to make it look like our gaming operators and state officials are addressing this most certain outcome they're going to have things like a 1-800 GAMBLER get help number, and a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week hotline that provides crisis counseling. There's also self-exclusion for those who got so 'HIGH' on casino gambling that they destroyed themselves and in most cases their innocent families. Do you know of any other entertainment venue or industry in our country that has such an option? All of these good intentions and provisions address the obsessive gambling problem after one becomes a casino gambling junkie. If we do nothing to stop the 'BREEDING' then be prepared to face the same ill-effect that we have been addressing since the sixties when the youth of America started entertaining themselves with drugs, it's called getting 'HIGH.' Today they're two bills, one in our House of Representatives (HB 783) and one in our Senate (SB 423) that will make the casino operators who are already tracking their patrons' money and time spent gambling with COMP-CARDS to send monthly statements. This would enable gamblers and their family members to spot a loved one's gambling problem before it gets out of hand. You can help get this legislation passed by contacting your state legislators and telling them you support (HB 783) and (SB 423) To learn more about these Bills go on line and look up Bill Kearney on casino gambling.
