Shift by Kyl on online poker?
I was looking at Jon Kyl's website today trying to find a statement about online poker I had read in the past. I was surprised when what I could find about online gambling was this:

Just got some hope with that statement. If that's his actual stance than he needs to be FLOODED with letters by poker players.

Kyl should be gloating about his role in passing the UIGEA, which the DOJ used to prosecute Pokerstars and FTP. Instead, this corrupt **** is admitting that perhaps his staunch position that online poker is not a game of skill is misfounded. Our biggest opponent suddenly changes sides overnight after the DOJ wipes foreign competition out of the market. ****s not right. |

Would be interesting to know exactly when he made those changes. Within a couple of days ago? Right after Black Friday? A month ago?

Re: Shift by Kyl on online poker?
Has PPA contacted Kyl's office for his willingness to work with us. If he indeed softens his stand against online poker, it could be a huge momentum swing to our side. :D

Assuming he's not blowing smoke for some unknown reason, I wonder if Harry Reid and the Casino's would accept poker only legislation as a compromise?

Re: Shift by Kyl on online poker?
This new stance on online gaming from him is taken from his website as the op says. I attempted to check out earlier versions to see when this change was made, but the most recent archived copy of the website is from 10/26/2010 and this was his statement on online gambling then:

edit: The page is the exact same, its in his crime section, and the layout is the same, its just sometime after 10/26/2010 he changed his statement about online gaming It would be very interesting to know if that happened pre or post 4/15 |
Re: Shift by Kyl on online poker?
When was this statement issued? If this statement was made shortly after April 15, I might start wearing my tinfoil hat for a bit as I wonder if Kyl and Reid have been communicating regarding federal regulation.
My ignorance leads me to believe that this knockout of the market is what Kyle wanted all along if he were to allow federal regulation to slip through the Senate. meh I can be hopeful for something right? |

I would be very careful about reading too much into this, however. "I will carefully consider it" is often political code for "I'll appear to be reasonable while wiping my ass with your idea." It is the qualifier at the end that gives me the most hope he'll actually consider it. |

Really it's all speculation. He's not running for office again, and he decided to switch his position just a few months after blocking the Reid bill. |
Re: Shift by Kyl on online poker?
Pretty awesome news. Prospects for regulated online poker in the US look good.
