jeff_536 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 A) Not worriedii) Via the interweb?A) Just like you weren't going to be worried about the government cracking down on the companies that made deposits for you. Poker is this generation's witch hunt or prohibition or red scare.....and The internet is Salem. ii) If necessary, but i was thinking toronto or Vegas... Link to post Share on other sites
dms26 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 A) if you're worried about the gov't tracking cheques, this puts an intermediary there.ii) I give better girl beeerains...P.S. Unless the news has changed in the last hour or two, i thought it was just instacash that is being disabled for US players.Some sites aren't letting you deposit from Neteller now either. I'm not sure about Stars Link to post Share on other sites

So we go back to sending checks back and forth. No biggie for me. It's probably a bigger deal to you guys who keep a lot more online than I do. The worst part about it is the time delay factor that there will be now but, eh, we'll get used to it.I'll take my chances that the government isn't going to go through every single check every person in the US writes looking for ones made out to gambling websites.

renaedawn 1 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 They way I understand it is it's not illegal to play poker, it's illegal to provide the service.Right.So did you read that 2+2 thread? Am I getting this right? Instacash is already gone (which was already gone for most of us anyway because of Doug and Greg's hacker problems) and that within 12 hours Neteller will announce that they are no longer transferring to merchants (ie, Pokerstars) for US customers. Is that right or am I confused? Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 only sometimes?Well...you put on a good game of football, i've got to give that to you...And the porn industry is doing some quality work. Link to post Share on other sites

jeff_536 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The religious wackos would have porn shut down too if it could, maybe football too since they play on Sunday.ironic, huh, that america was largely settled by people who were persecuted in other countries and left because of lack of religious freedom. Now your country is all about freedom, as defined within a limited scope by the federal government."We're a free country, we just don't get carried away with it." Link to post Share on other sites
SAM_Hard8 50 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on US 95 south, just outside of Washington Nothing is moving north or south. Suddenly a man knocks on his window.The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened?" What's the hold up?""Terrorists have kidnapped Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and John Kerry. They are asking for a $100 million ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection."The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone giving?" "About a gallon" Link to post Share on other sites
