The future of gaming is inevitably going online, and Sheldon is merely a old school conservative trying to push back the evolution. No single old fart is going to kill a potential billion dollar industry for good.
The UIGEA was passed in 2006. 8 years ago and it still hasn't been overturned. As a matter of fact, things have only gotten worse.
Online poker absolutely does not need any more hurdles than it already has. One hurdle could easily equal 10-20 years before we make more progress. Like I said, the UIGEA has already shown itself to be an 8 year hurdle.
I'm Canadian and after the UIGEA passed, that bill from another freakin' country affected my ability to deposit online via credit card. I'm sorry, but I don't want more hurdles.
