    why isn't there any talk about REID/KYL bill that will make offshore sites...
    virtually impossible to use by americans?

    A draft copy of the federal online poker legislation obtained by the PPA reportedly differs little from the previously leaked summary, but player penalties are apparently off the table.


    i asked someone about this bill to someone knowledgeable and i got this reply...

    "Any online wagering sites which are not a specific carve out in the bill (licensed poker, state lottery ticket sales, legal horse race wagering, qualified intrastate remote gaming and legal skill games) will all be in the same category of illegal online gambling facilities and subject to same bill provisions. Offshore sports books are currently illegal anyway, but there will be new criminal penalties and the Bettor Forfeiture provision will apply."

    this bill will be good for poker for some states but it'll kill sites like 5Dimes, Heritage, bovada, etc...

    are you guys aware of this situation?
