Everyone needs to read [URL="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h112-1174"]HR1174[/URL] BEFORE they support it. I realize that we may not have much of a choice, but now is the time to try to get input into it. IMO it just proves that government can f*ck up a wet dream. (mods feel free to edit)
 
There are 3 areas that concern me. It's tough reading, so this is only my interpretation.
 
The bill appears to lock out forever poker sites that have taken U.S. players since the UIGEA was passed in 2006, or anyone connected with a site that has been convicted of a crime. (Hence the current indictments of stars and FTP.)
 
The tax provisions of the bill are unclear to me. There is no definition of time of payment:
[I]3) COLLECTION OF CUSTOMER TAXES- Appropriate mechanisms to ensure that all taxes relating to Internet gambling from persons engaged in Internet gambling are collected at the time of any payment of any proceeds of Internet gambling.[/I]
 
COMPILATION OF DATASETS ON PLAYER BEHAVIOR - paragraphs C and D seem to be in conflict with each other. One saying that data on individual player behaviour can be requested but that it must comply with para D which says the player data must be anonymous.
