Any thoughts on the new anti internet gambling laws? Most sites are taking away US residents accounts. ******************.com is still letting US players play poker as well as bet on sports. Partypoker.com is closing us operations bodog.com is closing US operations. What intrests me is that is specifies games of chance but not skill. I think anyone would agree poker is a game of skill. I would also argue sports betting is a game of skill. I still have not heard what pokerstars.com is doing nor empirepoker.com or paridisepoker.com are going to do. I do know becuase this is where I play that ******************.com is offering 100% deposit bonuses and empirepoker.com is offering the same bonus

Other than it's just a bunch of bullshit i don't know much more than that. I think it has the possibility of opening the doors for the casino's here to get some kind of laws passed so they can get in business and then pay taxes on all profits.

as long as ******************dotcom will let me keep sportsbeting and playing poker I will they are run from vancouverand I talked to there customer service rep who said they had no intentions because there are multiple ways to deposit besides direct credit cards and they feel US laws have no jurisdiction over them. Also stated Antigua had already filed a lawsuit over it and had one one a few years back just over this same thing
