no, no and no based on the last bill.
cool, i dont know anything about the bill. havent done any research. just find it hard to imagine the guvment wont eff it up and make needlessly bloated and punitive.

Not sure what you're talking about.
casinos were initially against online poker when it started to gain popularity. they should have been at the forefront promoting it. it would be legal, they would run it so that it would be legit and profitable and healthy for all parties.

For those who set up IP masking, etc etc, it may be better or worse, but my guess is better and I think it's a pretty big favorite assuming they are paying taxes currently like they are supposed to.
i was under the impression that the poker landscape was super bleak right now, even for those who jump thru the hoops to find games. so, while i dont hold out much hope that this version of legality will rectify the situation, legality itself is a precondition for creating a burgeoning and healthy environment. im just skeptical that this initial move will fix things right away. i think we are a long way off.
and, realize, yes i am completely talking about of my ass as i have no idea wtf is included in this bill.
