Just to demonstrate how far this has gone, we now have Casino ACH. Essentially, this is online gambling, using the Automated Clearing House to move the cash around. This would strike me as utterly crazy, if it werent such an obviously lucrative idea.

Casino ACH allows you to instantly convert your checks into electronic currency. Once cashed in, you can participate in a wide variety of online games. Its like a casino without all the neon, the smoke, the watered-down booze, or the people. In that way, its kind of like Internet porn (the single most profitable enterprise on the Web).

Casino ACH: Living it Up at Home
Spending just a couple of minutes at Intercasino (one of the numerous online gambling web sites), I watched the pot on Caribbean Stud Poker climb to $107,045 very quickly. That was only one of several high-stakes games, including Keno ($138,000 on the table when I left) and the hilariously-named Rags to Riches ($102,000 and counting).

If you like gambling but dont like people, Casino ACH might be the way to go. I have to say, hooking your bank account directly to an Internet casino strikes me as the worst idea Ive ever heard. But what do I know? Its probably fun, and its definitely good business.
