A Decade in 2 Minutes ~ History of Online Gambling

– We celebrate the ten year anniversary of APCW Perspectives with a two-minute retrospective journey through the online gambling industry. Set to “We Didn’t Start the Fire” from legendary rock & roll artist Billy Joel, J.Todd takes liberty with the lyrics and re-writes the song for internet gaming.

A DECADE IN 2 MINUTES (Lyrics)
===========================
Microgaming, Cryptologic…
Jon Kyl tries to block it.
Keep working! They can’t stop us!
Enter: Bob Goodlatte.
Safe ports, terrorism…
Congress calls for prohibition.
Bill Frist… Dave Carruthers…
UIGEA.
– – – – – – – – – –
Neteller, DoJ…
World Trade and Barney Frank.
Antigua, Costa Rica,
Thieves at Grand Prive’.
PPA takes a stand up.
eCOGRA won’t lend a hand.
Live dealers, mobile games,
Kentucky grabs domains.
– – – – – – – – – –
Black Friday, Full Tilt,
Ponzi schemes, the Barton Bill.
Bad actors, Ray Bitar,
Amaya Gaming, PokerStars.
Nevada poker goes online
cuz the Wire Act don’t apply!
New Jersey and Delaware
follow close behind.
– – – – – – – – – –
RAWA jumps into the ring.
FanDuel, DraftKings,
Cali online poker dies…
We still want to Join the Fight!
Mergers and acquisitions…
UK taxes, match fixing.
Bitcoin raids! Brightshare shaves!
eCOGRA still sucks today!
