More problems for online poker
 

Seems as though yet another major country is thinking of banning OL poker.

We have it in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey. I don't think it's been a huge success, mainly it is just tourneys, not much cash games. I haven't played In a while, maybe I'll try my luck this Paddys Day weekend.

I can't participate on PokerStars play money tables anymore, because it is 'illegal' in Washington.... so against their TOS

Online poker to begin interstate games
 

Once online poker starts to creep its way (legally) across America, I think that will be a much greater threat to racing than any legalized sports betting...but what do I know?

Racing and online poker share the common problem
of integrity and wagering security. A third party
always has control of, and access to, the system.

Used to play a fair bit of online poker 10-14 years ago.
Always playing with promotional freebies in freerolls.
I refused to give a credit card to any of those sites.

It's one thing to be on the losing end of a bad beat
in a live poker game. It feels much worse online.
