It occurs to me that perhaps we all are over complicating things. All we really need is the ability to transfer funds to and from the sites securely. That is what was taken away from us via the 2006 UIGEA. Rather than trying to re-create a whole industry, let's work on the part that got broke. Even the remaining US sites, would be fine if money transfers were fixed.

Then we could do stuff like petition whoever to get Stars back in the US, and since they are only charged with UIGEA violations, and maybe a few laundry issues (not their fault) and are the only party involved who handled everything responsibly, and the DOJ saying that most of the charges brought against offshore sites are not valid, and probably will not be prosecuted, then we are solving a broken thing, not trying to re-create a new thing.

I can guess that some guy in New Mexico, or Wisconsin or wherever who wins a big online prize will end up spending a whole lot of that in their states generating income, and taxes and jobs for that state.

Getting the money flowing again will be the cure for all the problems.

poker rights

I signed the newest petition,one day last week.Altho all this is getting old.
If they can't even pass a budget,or refuse to pass a budget,which they are required to do by law,what kinda chance does a poker bill have?I will keep signing and supporting online poker,but our government is getting worse by the minute in many ways.Its like a runaway train and nobody can stop it.

Click to expand...

Repealing the UIGEA is what I have wanted all along, but it's not going to happen. The law was stupid and was passed by the nannies and the casino lobbyists and is not going away. Once all the special interest groups get their pound of flesh, we might be able to have American poker. But then the states are going to be a problem if there is an opt-out provision.

As nightmoves said, they can't do their jobs, are destroying the country, but have no problem trying to keep us from playing poker.

Illegal aliens have more people protecting their rights in this country than the hard-working, tax-paying citizens do.

As long as we vote for the Romneys and Obamas, and keep reelecting these congressmen, nothing is going to change.

Done.

Bloomberg reported that the Feds will not get any poker bill passed, basically because they can't get anything done, but that the states will. That doesn't bode well for most of us, at least for a while.

I imagine that once online poker in in place in some states, they will be looking for some way of creating "networks", since single state site's revenue will be self-limiting.

Let's keep on it TF. The more we do, the more likely the feds are to step in during the lame duck session to keep order on this industry.
