Of course PS will say the rumors are false. We should still be nervous IMO. What a sick roller coaster this has been. Please let it end soooon.

I don't see what PS' angle would be to say the rumors are false when they are really true...

No, the licensee can be fined for accepting play from a minor, but PS uses a verification system that indemnifies them that their age verification (based on a series of questions that only the holder of the card would likely know) will block a minor using his parent's card and the licensee gets hit with a charge back.

PokerStars even brought a a representative from their age verification service and an IoM regulator to the Nevada assembly hearings on their bill, to testify on how strict their licensing was and how much money Nevada might be able to make by becoming the IoM 'gold standard' of US regulation.

Is this the first time PS has even acknowledged that talks are going on?

IIRC, one of the PS media guys mentioned the talks in a blog a while back.

It's Lance Armstrong suting the USADA, not the other way around.

And Clemens and Bonds were tried for lying to Congress, and perjury and obstruction, respectively, not for the use of steroids.

Low-content posters gonna low-content think.

Big win for all the people who thought they were already merged. Like James Taylor, for example ("Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind").

I can only imagine what poker network they'd play on in the future...

The PS system didn't always work. And aside from that, it was (basically) 18+, not 21+. So these laws/regulations/we that IoM have - do they supersede US law?

So are you still cautiously optimistic about the deal

?

I know this is a silly question, but I don't pretend to have any idea about what exactly is going on since it's way too complicated for someone who is not from the US and has no experience in law, so I base my mood about the FTP deal on your mood

Judge Sand has granted the USAO's request for an extension of time to file certain motions, this would have an effect on the time to clear assets of claims and also gives more persons time to file other MTD's.
