chipinchair 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think people are misunderstanding what the House and Senate are passing into law. They are only directing that financial institutions should be blocked from giving online sites money (much like the E-Gaiming act passed years ago that says online casinos cannot accept $ from the same institutions). So there can be no penalty for a gamer playing the game, the penalty lies with the financial institution that 'allowed' the transaction. If you are a winning player, don't withdraw the entire BR and keep pokering Link to post Share on other sites

If you are a winning player, don't withdraw the entire BR and keep pokering I guess you didn't even read the article.FYI, the official stance of the Feds is that operating an online gambling site that involves US player AND playing from the US violates existing federal wire fraud law, as well as state law in many states.At a minimum the "penalty" as you say it lies with the financial institutions and the site operators, and they have said before it applies to the players as well, though they have yet to go after any.
