I agree with this. And I too dont like the idea of state only sites. But it is baby steps. I have to wonder if there were legal and regulated access to online sites, would the number of players increase? Idk I can imagine their are ppl out there that dont play online bc of worries such as, idk who i am playing against? Is my money going to be safe? Am I being cheated?..And those that dont want to break the law...or even toe along that line.

I have often wondered if a major site such as pokerstars or full tilt could operate as they do now in a fully legal and regulated operation as the govt will insist. Not saying that they operate in anything less then a professional manor. But a legal online poker industry in the US will tax not only the card rooms but the players winnings as well.

And like it or not, the govt cant tax players who arent from the US and i cant imagine the poker rooms wanting to play taxes on profits from players around the world. Just doesnt make sense to me. I wouldnt do it lol

I imagine US only sites ran by MGM, Harrahs etc. down the road. And my hope is that state only sites will get the snowball rolling, and help iron out the details to fully legal and regulated online poker in the US and make this whole situation go away and playing poker much easier.
