BIG news about PokerStars - Page 4 - Poker News

I mean, why not? There is a bill on its way and maybe it got passed through already behind the scenes, yet to be announced for the public. The sites mightve received somekind of prenotice to be prepaired when this is gonna happen and to be ready to serve us costomers..

Course it would, you summed up your level of intelligence with your initial respone.

I will enjoy your apology, but for now, ignorance is bliss.

Heres the thing,
The coming "debt deal" just like the "Port security bill" <--where uigea came from

IS A MUST ****ING PASS.
If you have enough clout and want to sneak in "legalized online gambling" this might be your best time in the next 2-3 years...

If he had said "within a year or two," I would have ignored him. I actually think it is pretty likely that if we get legal poker, Stars will be back in the US market under new ownership. The earliest time frame for that is about 2 years, +/- 6 months.

it would be nice no doubt but imo is highly unlikely...but I doubt their domains are getting seized regardless since they are .eu now.

Somehow I doubt that, since OP specified an announcement next week and that PS would be serving US customers "very soon". You'd have to be clinically ******ed to think a year or two falls into the category of very soon.

The "much higher rake" makes this a lose-lose, right?

I'm going to laugh so much if next week there's an announcement and Deuc3s makes all the doubters look like fools again.

I dont normally post in NVG, but this thread caught my attention, and for that the OP should get credit. But to the substance of the post I would put about a 0.00 percent chance of PS returning to the US market without a state/federal issued license to operate real money games.

But should next weeks "Debt Deal" have any wording about "poker legislation", you will def have to reassess your 0.00 opinion

Only way OP could be right if something was porked on to the debt ceiling issue. Other than that I doubt.

Come to think of it, what's really that different from them reopening? No laws have changed and the UIGEA has been in effect for 4 years. Many people believe that they are never returning to a regulated us market anyways, what have they got to lose?

Its highly unlikely they will attach a poker bill in any "debt deal" in the next week. Even if they did there is simply no way for anyone at PS to know this or anyone anywhere until it actually happens.

Even if a poker passes next week (which it wont) sites would up and running in a week, it will take months if not a year for reg's to finial and licenses to be issued. Even if PS settles with the DOJ its highly unlikely they will be allowed to operate in the US ever again with current ownership in place

Even if there was, the notion that PokerStars, or anyone for that matter, would be providing real money games to players in the U.S. "soon" is simply not realistic. Plus, the OP suggests that some sort of deal was in the works prior to BF which clearly was not tied to the debt ceiling discussion.

There is no way Stars is coming back into the US before we have licensed poker, and only a slim possibility that it will be back afterward (they'd need new ownership).

You people can go on listening to the OP all you like, but he is playing you, and sitting in some **** hole of a dorm room or something popping his zits and laughing hysterically that he has internet fan boys who believe whatever nonsense he spews.

no offend, im just curious...would you like to bet? what odds would you lay? (that stars is not back in <1 month)
