It is pretty hard to argue that FirePay.com is not some sort of financial institution. Poker Stars and Party Poker probably isn't in the traditional sense. But the way the law is written, they are. ADWs are too. Basically they are saying if "people" have something resembling an account, then they are financial institutions.
Online poker brought out the anti-gambling nuts in force and they have been pushing the government to enforce some laws that they had previously used on gambling operations and write new laws. Give these people an inch and they will find a way to turn it into a mile. They are not above pitting gambling operations against each other to achieve their goals.
