[QUOTE="rifflemao, post: 2330965, member: 98323"] In the tough situation we're in with Adelson, your first point looks like a good general argument for separating poker: Q: Why make the case that poker is different from other casino games? A: Because if you lump in with all casino games then you give legislators the opportunity to deal with everything in one fell swoop (via [URL="http://www.onlinepokerreport.com/11725/graham-chaffetz-introduce-anti-online-gambling-bill/"]restoration of The Wire Act[/URL] that Adelson is pushing for). Aside from that, the core of what you suggest makes total sense. A centralized office for consumer and online protection is probably the best long term solution, and would be great for poker due to shared player pools between states. The problem is that President Obama (a poker player) has left decisions about [I]online[/I] poker to the states: "The Administration understands that many Americans engage in paid online poker games for entertainment purposes. Online gambling on sporting events or contests violates federal law. [I]The legality of other forms of online gambling is dependent upon the law of the states where the bettor or gambling business is located. It is left to each state to determine whether it wishes to permit such activity between its residents and an online poker business authorized by that state to accept such wagers, but online gambling that is not authorized by state law may also violate federal statutes.[/I]"[URL="http://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/what-we-have-say-about-online-poker"]-Official White House response re online poker[/URL] So it's an uphill grind. In the short term, we need current online poker regulation to be successful (Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey), and a version of The Wire Act or the UIGEA that makes a clear exception for poker, like it apparently does for [URL="http://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2012/09/19/should-gambling-on-fantasy-football-be-legal/"]fantasy sports[/URL]. :icon_scra [/QUOTE]
