We're going to fight back hard, just as we did in Kentucky. Sorry to disappoint you.

Yeah, why mention that the sites not on the list include sites that dont operate in the US and therefore dont violate the statute cited by the State of Minnesota to block them. That seems sort of relevant doesnt it?

Come on man, no one is mentioning small niche sites that the state may have overlooked. They know PokerStars and UltimateBet exist, we're not sharing state secrets here, if the state gets to the point where they are expanding enforcement beyond the current list as planned they arent going to miss PokerStars.

Let me know what good comes out of identifying the sites they missed on a public message board, cause I'm missing it.

You dont think there is merit to pointing out that some of the sites on the list arent violating the law the state is claiming as a basis for blocking the sites?

The rest of the sites mentioned, I dont think its good or bad other than showing the capriciousness of the list which made more sense once TE pointed out that this was a random list of sites. It not going to affect sites being blocked or not.

If this were processor names or names not available in the public domain Id agree with you, but we arent really tipping off the existence of PokerStars to state authorities.

This back and forth is unproductive though, if you think the posts are a problem report them to the mods and I'll defer to their judgement.

Is anyone in MN who uses Qwest having issues logging into FTP?

A friend of a friend keeps getting booted.

ya if i could take it back i would but i cant edit srry srs

probably not news to them so so kind of irrelevant.

pokerstars has an obvious publicly advertised majority market share so I don't think i'm cluing them in.

I have a different take, though not to call the guy a liar, but.....

There are a few poker sites, none even service the U S.
the response from these few I would surmise is so what, so Willems hopes.

Thus, if he prevails on the casinos (they did once before from a post earlier?) with these names tossed in his hope is THEN he can addendum the list getting PS, FT et al blocked, he will have back door prevailed.

Example: Intertops Casino is listed, not Intertops Poker which also serves the U S.

That's exactly what I was thinking OBG.

Made my phone calls today. Hope everybody else is too.

There is at least one U.S. facing site.

It seems states don't think ahead like you or I would think they would. Rather, it seems they think it's all unlawful and that they'll receive universal adulation for fighting it.

I found one if you mean poker room, they are / did close and merged their player base to BWin.

If I overlooked another?

FullTilt

FTP

sorry, I overlooked them, errrrrr.

IMO, this list and action is a trial balloon. If it works then thousands of sites will be blocked, including, maybe, this one. This action by MN is an assault on free speech and online gambling. I can't wait to read all the briefs in the lawsuit.

Agreed that Dikshit didn't set legal precedent however it sure set precedent. Will you agree that the Wire act has survived the court system, and if so, why is it now ignoring legal precedent and the Constitution to use it in helping enforce MN gambling law?
