My feelings also.
Where is the 'beef' on ATIG claims of coming platform use?
Only hope is tribal casinos accociation it seems . . . and they are extremely cautious. In couple of years, tribal cainos could be hard pressed to keep their customers, if state governments enact paid access to taxable online mobile gaming/gambling. though . . . why 'rock-the-boat' with innovation . . . tribal leaders think everything will just go on like past. Good luck with that business model. What I am basically saying is tribes are happy the way things are now . . . when have most of us ever set about making changes in our worldview and business model . . . when we don't have to. Let the good times keep rolling!
As individuals . . . so goes our nations?
There is a time in the affairs of men, when the tide is favorable for action? Better to go with the tide, then later have to be acting against it?
Using a reality check . . . did not the few tribes that allowed ATIG to test the ATIG mobile gambling platforms on their premises . . . do so at no risk to themselves at all (play-for-free testing)?
Part of the problem of launching the ATIG gambling platform, is getting conscensus of agreement amongst various tribal interests and needs. So far, logic tells us to look at what we have to grasp in our hand. The tribes feel threatened by mobile paid gambling, and basically enjoy working the casino crowd in-house.
As do NV large casino owners.
My solution: do a private placement for ATIG funding with warrants and apply for paid gambling license in a western state (e.g. Idaho . . . they need new tax revenues and centered towards favorable free right of choice for their citizens and visitors). Folks are going to gamble, so therefore why not tax that act and put some conditions on it? Like not under 18 years of age, registered accounts and proof of age, limits on monthly gambling amounts for individuals and state supported professional oversight
for troubled individuals. ATIG needs state(s) on their side to make their platform work. Tribes will fail as partner potentials . . . write a grant . . . and go with a state . . . and get it done. Then, tribes can see the future, or go into the mist of the dawn alone. Does ATIG have years to keep trying?
ATIG has online free site to play right now (or at least last time I looked) and data from several tribes that allowed free-for-play mobile on their premises. This is the stuff that grants and partnerships can be made from. Why not tell the tribes ATIG is there to help you with paid online mobile gambling platforms . . . and we would love to continue our relationship? However; we need funding and are actively seeking it in other venues for our business plan to achieve success.
