Message: [QUOTE="dj11, post: 1776982, member: 13851"] Start your own thread. My idea here is to help figure out what might be the most appropriate structure of a bill that would pass Congress. Existing online sites will have little if anything to do with influencing the legislators, but we, the players can have significant input. WE have to help or WE are screwed! So while I agree that the single registrar/money system would be nice, it isn't going to, and at first we probably don't want it to, be included in a bill that will confuse most people. Capitalism will fill the gap and some business concern will figure it out, possibly Pay Pal, or Netteller who already know how to do it will step up. Things we know will come up are ways to prevent underage players, addicted players, and those concerned with the fairness of the online experience. Amongst others. We will want a fair enough licensing practice that the whole thing is not dead on arrival. We will need ideas about how we can pacify the moralists who will likely be coming out of the walls. While we may want to mold a perfect pokersite, we are not going to get that done via legislation. The market place will decide that. Just like it molded Stars in the last 7 or 8 years. The Stars example is good for how any site can do it, but we don't want to legislate the Stars model on everyone. Some of the more generic aspects of the Stars Model (like segregation of funds, and responsive support) should be included, while other aspects need other considerations. For instance, one of the considerations legislators should look at is player accountability, and Site accountability to each player. So if a player is banned, or his account seized, that players should have a valid, understandable reason for that action, and some method of recourse. Another possible idea is the term of a license. 1 year to start. As a site shows it can do things acceptably, the term increases, and fees associated with monitoring (policing) the operation, can decrease some. As it works out, the players will want protection from the sites abuse and the sites will want protection from government abuse. If we, who understand the situation more than non players, don't serve up the good ideas the legislation (if any) will proceed designed by people who really, really do not have a clue, or by vested interests already entrenched in B&M casinos.
