Wandigo 1 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 My CC company has already dissallowed deposits. If they shut down my bank account transfers, guess I'll just be sending PrtyP or loosh a check and they can send me my moneys. (I'll pay a 'withdraw from the rich man' fee of course!)

SBriand 4 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 It's just being voted on in the House Judiciary Committee. Or the sub committee. Needs to go a hell of a lot farther to become a bill. Link to post Share on other sites

The Nuts 0 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 It won't happen.For one thing, these online poker sites (Full Tilt, Party etc) are located overseas and are out of U.S. jurisdiction. I believe Neteller is also located outside of the U.S. as well. So, it's going to be relatively difficult to stop this from happening.Same applies with online sports betting as well. Those sites are located overseas as to avoid being under U.S. law. Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRichey 1 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hasn't the Supreme Court already ruled that poker is not gambling? Therefore, this shouldn't affect the poker sites, right? Link to post Share on other sites
