I'm not too worried about the blackout. Nevada will be online by then and will most likely be the regulators as well, not to mention I'm screwed either way. If we want to reduce to blackout, then we need to either push for a bill as close to the Nevada system as possible or a provision that says state poker sites can offer while regulations are worked out at he federal level.
Most of what I'd like to see has been mentioned:
1. Clear criminal penalties at both state and federal levels for cheating, botting, etc. Extreme penalties for sites ripping off players.
2. Black list for 1
3. Allow non pros in bad states to net their wins and loses.(I'm in a bad state)
4. No ridiculous hoops to jump through to sign up.
5. Allow all deposit methods and every kind of affiliate possible.
6. Definitely no hardware to show the location of players.
7. Clear process for settling a problem with either another player or a poker site.
8. There should be an information page on each individual site provided by the regulator. Any infractions, settlements, or general wrong doings should be publicly available.
9. Require a supermajority and a free standing bill to raise the tax rate.
