      If you want to read up on the 2006 law, click on this link. It explains the Wire act also.

        There's quite a bit of US money in Pokerstars. I doubt they'd be able to simply keep it. This will get interesting.

                I have played at all of those sites in the past but now just play home/city games. Probably a good thing now!

                  Anyone else agree that LVBOUND should shut his mouth since he never actually bets money? He thinks he is a badass because he has an excel file where he is up 80K in FAKE MONEY. LVBOUND, go make $1 before you yapp off to someone.

                            I would be interested in how many people complaining about the law actually vote. I suspect very few and those who do so probablyhave bigger concerns on their plate which brings them to the polls.

                              Bombing Lybians and Iraqis is ok but gambling online with your own money...now that is just wrong and must be stopped.

                                Because gambling is seen as being a bad thing. Some people don't have any will power.

                                      Ya know LV I couldnt stand you because you stood up for that idiot on the Nats last year when he took out the marlins catcher for the year with that dirty play at home plate..he could have scored ..instead he chose to take a cheap shot at the catcher

                                      then you even made him your avatar to mock all the marlins backers

                                      now I see you with marlin avatars this year and posting logical threads and decent sports chatter

                                      I dont always agree with you..but you have proven to be a good poster for this forum...I even read your threads

                                      I decided awhile back I would never click on a FishHead thread cause he never cliks on nobody's threads but his own and he bumps his threads all day never paying attention to possible other worthy post..

                                      anyways I am just rambling cause Im lit as a fire cracker and wanted to say your good in my book!..Keep up the good work.

                                              If you have real money on UB your doomed. They are the lowest life forms of the online gaming world. Consider them the BetUs of poker. You won't see your money. Also please note that putting a withdrawal out there will on give the DOJ your info considering they now have all the payment processors account info by the balls.

                                              Sad but true, the best thing you can do is let it sit for a few months & pray for the best.

                                                I dont understand if you want to send your money out of the country and play poker then why is it illegal. It doesnt make sense. If you are truly free why is this not an option? I am embarassed to talk to people from other countries, embarassed for the US and all the BS they think they are free. what a joke. This is bad for the industry and will force people into much more shady gambling situations and drinking and driving to poker games and the whole lot. again, what a joke. ps - the troops are not fightning "terror". They are gaining footholds in foreign countries and everything is always, always about $. Never think otherwise.

                                                        it's the republicans that want to outlaw sports-betting & poker because they are devil's games, but fully support horse racing and slot machines because those are god approved. yes, hypocricy at its best.

                                                        they also fully support tobacco & liquor, which are far more damaging to families & society than betting on sports.

                                                          Wow.

                                                          Looks like they are getting tough again!

                                                          If nothing else, they will scare the shit out of these merchants and no one will try this again!

                                                            What about the Pro's who play on the sites they sponsor say like a Dwan and Negraneau who probably have hundreds of thousands in an account. If they dont withdraw back into their bank accounts after they play, wouldnt they stand to lose all their money as well?

                                                            And the next time they sponsor or promote a site would you trust them or does it even matter who promotes what in regards to your interest in a site?
