I hate hearing about "state exception". UIGEA is one thing, state restrictions enforced by Stars and Full Tilt are an unmitigated disaster.

This would bring in a HUGE amount of fishy US players.

Exactly. Thanks.

lol child support payments?

are you kidding me? Jesus.

Maybe the gambling companies should monitor who hasn't paid there parking tickets.

If you make child support payments, you can't play poker? Kind of sucks for poker pros -- guess they can't make their payments...

That sucks, I would think there's a much smaller chance of this passing if that's the case. There should definitely be a distinction between games played vs. the house and games played vs. other players imo

I'm with you, and the PPA has suggested that, in the Senate at least, a version of this that treats only poker might have a better chance than one that treats all gambling. It seems to be a distinct possibility going forward.

that's what it sounds like now, but initially she said if you make child support payments sites must reject you (not delinquent payments -- just payments)

oh ok i didnt hear it that way my bad

two2brains · 07-28-2010, 01:02 PM

that is just a waste of time and money to try and enforce that law.

Lets just say idiot A owes back child support. Idiot A wants to play online. Idiot B (Idiot A's brother) doesn't have an account online. **LIGHT BULB** **DING DING DING**

no monies in regulated poker, child supports solid.
