HR 2267 Markup (Passed 41-22-1) - Page 17 - Poker Legislation

Sherman's from California, which has been working on an intrastate poker bill.

The full Committee isn't at the hearing, and there will be plenty of no votes coming when the vote happens at 3:20.

It's up over 220 now! Nice.

I put it out on the 2+2 twitter as well as my own. Seems we're getting a lot of attention.

Seprately, I just got home and online. I literally heard Barney Frank's last four words on this, then he went to the next bill. LOL at the timing. I guess I'll have to wait to watch the second half.

Well, this was a bit of progress, anyway. But the comment at the end that this bill should and will move on a schedule in tandem with the revenue bill is a clear statement that we are facing another significant delay while the revenue bill moves through the committee.

Sigh.

I get excited every time we get some movement, then get a reminder like that that we are still a long way from even a floor vote in the house.

Bachus, Baca, and Bachmann (say that three times fast...) are all opposed, as will be many Republicans on the committee. But it looks like it has a very good chance of passing out of committee.

It's still nice that we got some attention for our cause today. Even though it seems like this whole process has been going on forever in Congress we're still in the early stages of this bill becoming law.

Isn't that something the PPA has refused to pursue on behalf of poker players since 2006 ?

That sounds like something for the sites to pursue and for PPA to support. Do you know of any sites willing to seek this, TruePoker CEO?

For better or worse, Paterson won't be in office if or when the bill passes. He would've opted-in for sure, but he would impose taxes that would dwarf pokerstars.fr.

Work very rudely interrupted my undivided attention to the hearing. Can anyone post a recap of the approved amendments and if possible clarity on what they'd mean?

Not asking too much, right?

Thanks

Bachman introduces an amendment that nobody who is delinquent on child support payments can gamble online. I guess that is reasonable, seems really niche though, and is there any precedent for stuff like this in any other industry?

Semi, here in WV you can gamble if behind but if you win over X amount, before being paid they check with child support and if behind grab that amount from the payout.

To me, this is a good lesson on how Congress perceives us. Do these sound like fans of the status quo to anyone here?

Neteller sold me out and gave the DOJ all my transaction history. Why should any US player give them another chance? I wouldn't give them the sweat off my balls if they were dying of thirst in the desert.

That's too bad because some guy just posted a thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...umbers-839851/

showing the impact of the rake increase on PS.FR on players' Win Rates, and it's not pretty....Games are basically unbeatable in France now.

yeah, how about legal action? I know it may take 5 years, but if you started 4 years ago we would be that much closer.
