Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 984705, member: 26306"] There will always be ways to deposit. They can't ban personal money transfers. Things like Western Union, Moneygram, etc. will always be available. But you have to send them a request, they give you a temporary name in a foreign country, and you have to send to that name within 24 hours is usually how it goes. They can make up names faster than banks can figure out and block the old names. The problem is how many recreational fish will do this? If you are just depositing to have a good time and blow a little money for fun, are you going to send your cash to a strange guy in the Caribbean and jump through all those hoops to do it? Where do you think the money comes from in online poker? As the fish drop out of the US games will get tougher to the point where they are close to being unprofitable for all but the very best. We need to be doing our best not only to reverse this recent ruling, but to also fight for the Skill Game Protection Act and other pro-poker legislation. This is our #1 concern now though, because it is most recent and easiest to overturn. @Obama will save us. This is wrong. Obama and other Dems don't give a shit about us. They have much higher priorities than poker, and if you think he/they are going to save us you're just flat out dreaming. Now it is possible we can get them on our side, but that doesn't happen by dreaming and thinking Obama will make it all ok. The problem is that when Democrats are voting on poker, they know if they vote for it the Republican running against them in 2010 will use it against them. "they voted against saving our families and children from the evils of online gambling". We need to show them that those aren't the only people voting, that there are poker players who vote too and they are all watching. We also need to get non-poker players. It's an issue of regulating the internet. If they can regulate playing poker what's next? They know people will go against them if they vote for poker. We need to let them know there are people who will go against them if they vote against it too. So write your Congressmen and Senators, fill out the forms above for Obama and the GOP. As of now, Barney Frank is one of the only congressmen who care about us. He's doing what he can, but we need to do what we can as voters. As a side note there are some high-stakes players who are getting together and may be hiring some lobbyists to help them out. If that materializes I will give more info as to how you can help with donations and such. [/QUOTE]
