Open Question: Setting Up An Advocacy Group For Online Compulsive Gamblers?
Whether you agree or not with the moral standings of the business I am about to describe, I am interested in learning what would go into setting something like this up. I believe I have found a way to get gambling losses back from online casinos poker rooms. Please spare me the rigabull about how people know what they are getting into when they deposit money, yadda yadda yadda. What I want to do is help compulsive gamblers get their money back from online casinos where they may have gone over the edge, been cheated, etc. I have perfected my own method in dealing with US banks, in an effort to get my losses back from online casinos, and over the course of 3 separate times managed to recoup over $4000 in losses. I have consulted an attorney, and have found that my methods are 100% legal. What we would like to do is operate much like these debt relief companies. However, instead of negotiating interest rates, we set out to recoup lost gambling charges while charging a nominal fee. So my questions are: 1) What sort of documents would we have to have the client sign in order to act/work on their behalf to represent them to their credit card companies (much like a debt relief company)? 2) If the average players losses are $1000, and you guaranteed to your client that you would get that $1000 back or they don’t pay a dime, what would you charge that individual? A $50 flat fee per customer? Maybe a 10% service charge on the gross amount? 50% of what they lost? 3) Is online gambling illegal? I’ve heard everything from absolutely not, to absolutely yes. If the purpose of the charges is to fund an illegal activity (online gaming), and I know this coming in, but the methods I use to get back their money are not illegal, could I get in any sort of trouble with the law for that? I only want to set this business up if it is 100% legitimate. Thanks for any advice!
