SBRtv Interview With I. Nelson Rose About The Poker Site Shutdowns

[SBRPicks]

I. Nelson Rose of www.gamblingandthelaw.com called in to the SBRtv studios to comment on what went down on "Black Friday" in the poker world with the US Department of Justice seizing the domain names of the top 3 US-facing online poker sites.

There were some technical difficulties during the call, so the interview was not able to be completed, but Professor Rose was able to address most of what was planned.

Check for Professor Rose's upcoming interview on CNN about this matter as well.

[jjgold]

Pretty good

Looks like this was all overblown and nothing going to happen to poker operators

conclusion: usa players just cannot play like they cannot play at sportsbooks in europe

[CanuckG]

good interview

[robzilla]

Great interview.
The part about indian reserves here in Canada is interesting. I learned quite a bit about native rights in my law classes. Basically, the federal government keeps them happy by leaving them alone, up until something major happens. See Dudley George shooting.

[sneak-a-peak]

SBR should interview this guy once a month

[wtf]

this is the same guy that said they were OVER REACTING before the indictments

[nyplayer33]

your all very wrong...odds us gov't wins this -3000..let's be practical

[nyplayer33]

If poker was legal and such..then why the heck would u have to mask checks and deposists to and from sites..cause it's illegal..LOL

[nyplayer33]

Yu do realize that they us gov't could check the bank accounts of high staked players..tax fraud....I mean pick your poisen

[nyplayer33]

i love freedom for us..but the sites just agreed to no longer serves usa customers...add that money had been seized...this is a win for usa gov't

[mikeanite]

staff at SBR does good work here. keep it!

[nyplayer33]

his opinion won't matter..sites will cut a deal if they can....indictments likes this seldom lose

[nyplayer33]

bingo..doj doesnt like people making millions in illegal activity....why any idiot would be a red pro..hmmm...u betta hope u red pros paid your taxes..

[nyplayer33]

Better pay your taxes...

[dikefale]

Great interview,he explain it all.

[bookie]

I was surprised he thinks that Costa Rica wouldn't extradite an American bookmaker here because the activity is "licensed." CR would give any of em up for a ham sandwich. It's that the DOJ can't assemble a case, not that CR is safe ground.

[count da money]

thank you sbrtv 4 keeping us up to date

[relaaxx]

good stuff - from sbrtv

[sharpcat]

professor, the uigea allowed for ip blocking..u do know that right...

You do know that SBR no longer gives out a point bonus for 1,000 posts right?

[Kindred]

Great interview, there's another win with Mr. Rose here I heard yesterday Link

I was worried the DOJ could just seize domain names at will and only give them back after U.S. players are banned. Mr. Rose has confirmed this isn't the case and we are safe!!

Merge, True Poker, and Bodog have little to worry about

[illfuuptn]

can someone throw up the CNN video link plz? 15 points.

[RudyRuetigger]

Having this guy on is the best thing SBR has done in a long time. I try to catch his writings when I can

[Joe Dogs]

Good work SBR

Thanks for the great info

[LegitBet]

didnt have a cahnce to read this yet, but im sure its solid...im guessing a must read

[mikejamm]

Great interview Pete, let's hope some changes can be made to keep poker alive and growing. Hell, we gamble on everything else, sports, horse racing, casinos. Playing poker is American as apple pie. Legalize the online sites, tax it and keep the money right here in the USA.
