Not sure whether this deserves it's own thread, or whether I can post PT links. Sorry in advanced if it shouldn't be posted.

I saw it, got kinda worried if even more people would perceive online poker as illegal gambling now and will stop/hold on depositing.

Thanks for posting this, i like watching cnbc documentaries but i missed this one. It's a pity they didn't make one focussing purely on internet poker rather than just lumping it in with general degenerate gambling.
An in-depth poker documentary is what's needed for the public to understand that its not the same as internet roulette. It's a shame that we have this amazing invention that is the internet which will allow people from all over the world to play poker against each other yet many countries choose to try and block it due to misunderstanding of how it works and the belief that it is no different to roulette.

I hope they ban it. End all these double standards. Get these 2p2ers out of their parents basements then.

Every time the news media claims that "UIGEA made it illegal for poker sites to blah blah blah" it tilts me. Does the guy who wrote the law even think that, or does he just pretend to make himself look good? (or bad from our angle)
