Last I checked, the Dems have had control for the past 2 years.


Regulate and Tax. PLEASE.

No! How about just stay the fuck out of what is essentially a private matter? No offense, but once you agree that the govt has ANY right to get involved AT ALL you tacitly agree to what's going on now.

Lesser of two evils. Baby steps. Etc, etc.

I agree with most of your political views, believe it or not, but unfortunately, you live in an idealistic and unrealistic world. Rather than saying it has to be all or nothing and knowing that that will end in nothing, I'd rather find a compromise that I can live with somewhere in the middle.

I'm still holding out hope here, but this looks pretty bad.

I am stepping in to say that this thread should not be reduced to a political discussion. Keep it about the finalization of UIGEA and what exactly that will mean to us US based players. I am more than happy to contribute to a what we all should do to try and change the law/practicality vs ideology debate IN A NEW THREAD.

One thing that is confusing me is that is seems most banks are already compliant, so not much will actually change. Although, does it mean that banks will no longer accept deposit/checks from payment processors (ie the company that cuts us checks) known to work with poker sites?

This is obviously my #1 concern... and from what I've read, I don't know. The law seems to only affect going the other way (depositing to the poker sites), but I'm not certain.
