I've been following this thread for a few days now but I must have missed it. What exactly happens if your state Opts Out? Being a vegas resident, I guess NV would be one which would, but I don't recall reading what that would entail.

All in all, it seems like a great thing for poker.

But, as is the case in the current Senate bill, I fully expect that final bill to also state that you are only required to report as income your net win for the year and attach the form from the site to your return
Yeah, if we're going to just be optimistic that our politicians will be sensible then sure, this would obviously be great. All I was doing was pointing out though that it's certainly very realistic for this not to happen. In which case, if it doesn't happen, it could suck bad since the tax code in it's current form makes no sense and has big consequences to the recreational player.

Has nothing to do with cheating taxes, has to do with above reasons.

Fox & Friends just did a news story/debate about the Law legalizing internet gambling but they got some gambling junkie to defend our side rather than a PPA rep

So when are (US) players going to be able to deposit with credit cards again?

Not in the foreseeable future. If this bill becomes law, credit cards won't be allowed. Debit cards and presumably stuff like Paypal would work perfectly though.

The anti-gambling guy was the father of the Lehigh student who robbed a bank.

Interesting choice of panelists for each side. I guess all the other networks locked up all the policy analysts.

Hogan Sr. says in the interview that the [poker?*] business model is based off of taking advantage of people's weaknesses. Only possible interpretation I can see is that he thinks wanting to play poker is a weakness. Or that he doesn't understand poker or its business model at all, but you think one would take the trouble to learn after what his son went through.


* Hogan Jr. only played poker IIRC, so I think this is the implication

Nice. Given a choice between

a.) his father and
b.) Internet poker sites

as the reason his kid was a ****-up, his father chose Internet poker sites.

Solid, "fair and balanced" reporting by Fox.
