Why the fuck is this allowed? Why the fuck is ok to gamble away your money in a casino but it's not ok to invest in an ICO?

I'm guessing tax is involved somewhere along the line.

I know that what you want is to hear all these answers about how it's because the SEC can't control your money that way, how they want to keep poor people down, how the jews need to make sure they get their cut, how the rich have to keep the poor wageslaving away, etc.

The fact is that companies promote investments as ample opportunities for Americans to make money and have a history of lying to investors. It's illegal for casinos to downright lie about gambling.

its not about protecting you, its about keeping poorfags out of all the best (((investments)))

Because casinos are taxed and increase the local economy. Anyone who loses their life savings in a casino is just an acceptable loss furthering the machine. And anyone who wins has to pay taxes as well.

you're an idiot. no law ever was enacted with the best interest of anyone in mind but some wealthy dick who's afraid of competition. like any other kind of regulation this is yet another example of how the state creates oligopolies.

you're stupid if you're falling for what they tell you a law is supposed to do.
