Jordan 1 Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 "Duly noted, we've gotten several calls".Just say you oppose the bill and I guess that's that. Dunno if it will have any impact, but doesn't hurt to do it.15 seconds.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
Flushgarden 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 eh...I live 30 minutes from a pretty great poker room. I can still play.And even if this thing passes, somebody will figure a way to get around it. When there's money to be made they'll find a way to make it. Link to post Share on other sites

Flushgarden 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 What exactly would this prohibit again? Transfers from credit cards and bank accounts to online gambling sights?Do we ever transfer directly to the site when we use neteller or intermediaries like that anyway?

KappaKid83 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I make my living online although I live in Las Vegas, it is just nice to have these casinos around for when I do want to play live, unlike my hometown of Milwaukee. I called the number and left my message for them. I can now just cross my fingers and pray that this doesnt pass. And like Jordan said, I would march for this as well.Jeff Link to post Share on other sites

They don't care what you think. So either block your number and tell them you're from their state or call your Senator. Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyJoe 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm not sure I understand. Would it mean we can't use neteller?that's kind of unclear i think, but the point is whether you can use neteller or not, the guy that sees poker on TV and tries to play online with his CC won't be able to. fish will dry up, more sites will block US players (some have already started). This is a horrible think for poker in general, if I was American I would be doing everything I could. Link to post Share on other sites
