I really like how Fahrenkopf handled the question of wether UIGEA strengthening should take precedence/priority to regulation/legalisation "I believe they could be both be done at the same time"

How many of those 1000 sites will last if they have garbage software. Those lotteries can get in but I doubt they understand how much great software matters.

but your average consumer wont know that either. Obviously, there will eventually be a few very successful companies which launch to the top. The larger player pool and game selection will provide a better opportunity for new players.

I'm also really tired of people assuming all poker players gamble at everything

He wanted to expand the entities that were able to be licensed immediately to include state lotteries. In the current bill, I believe they have to wait 2 years.

IMO, just beginning to flesh out the issues, but there is a long way to go before legislation happens.

Someone needs to nail her down as to whether or not she's also talking play money.

You do realize that play money gambling is a serious problem - leads to lots of play suicides.

Continue the fight. We're being cited & recognized by Congress (which btw has been happening on twitter/FB previously with Mack & others).

It's likely still a long road because of all of the issues & congress being unsure what to include in a bill, what to regulate, etc., but the momentum is building.
