Seems with recent news, we will probably never see poker online poker as we loved it after whatever new regulations occur.  The sites that we are using these days will probably be forced to change.  The changes will likely mean that we will not be able to play against our member players in other states or countries.  Most of the proposed regulations suggest it will be a State by State thing, and likely will be confined within each state.

But it is all  still in flux, with a big thing happening in Washington on Oct 25.

So maybe what we need to work for are how we can compromise with these little state vs big state vs international play regulations.

I am envisioning something like this;
.  5% cap on fees for play (Rake/Tourney fees).
...  1% goes to the State
...  1% goes to the Fed
...  3% goes to the game provider (poker site).

{I expect those numbers would be in flux, but I want to aim at low numbers knowing they will be negotiated upwards.}

Quarterly provisions for interstate play, with yearly provisions for international play.

Not what we were accustomed to, for sure, but we have to compromise for the bigger picture of online gaming.

As for B&M vs online gaming.  I think they will mesh nicely with the B&M houses being the only place capable on depositing/withdrawing money onto the pokersites.  Get rid of Credit Cards altogether unless used in person at the B&M houses.  This solves the underage issues.  B&M houses would have lines waiting to deposit or withdraw and in both case those lines would wind around all those lovely slot machines, so you know they would love that.
