LOS GATOS, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent legislation proposing legalized online gambling raises concerns. Former Gambler, Joseph Alongi, warns against legalized online gambling.

"Although the revenue to individual states is tempting, the harsh reality of gambling addiction is the insidious way it destroys lives and ruins families. The desperation of the current economy has given gambling a renewed appeal. Legislators are trying to capitalize on this hardship," explains Alongi, former gambler and creator of BetAgainstMe.com. He continues, "I created BetAgainstMe.com as a safe way to get your gambling fix without losing your house, your family and your dignity."
