For 30 minutes only: Mr. K takes your questions about the bill

The title says it all. I will stop posting in this thread at about 1:20am EST. Please keep your questions focused only on the bill that passed through Congress today and subjects immediately related to that turn of events.

When do I have to get my money out? When are the provisions of this bill likely to be enforced to the effect that banks will block Neteller cashouts, checks, etc?

How likely do you think this bill could mean the end of Internet poker - or is it more symbolic?

Is there any hope for playing online poker in US?

If I have money in pokerstars and FPP points?
Will I be able to cash it out?

Can you give an estimate about the minimum time before they manage to enact anything?

Will ISP's start blocking all gambling sites?

how long do you think it will take before it goes into effect? (does it look like it might take the whole 270 days?)

will banks all start enforcing this at the same time?

any idea much advance notice will we get on this?

q1) what is your impression of the ISP language as to how broad it is; do you think it includes only those poker sites hosted by the ISP?

q2) do you think neteller will still be viable, or, alternatively, how realistic do you think it will be for poker sites to still be able to make it viable/convenient for the recreational player to deposit?

q3) when do you anticipate this legislation taking effect?

q4) just in a general sense, would you call this piece of legislation very tough, or toothless, or somewhere in the middle?

Does the langauge in the bill expressly provide for the blocking of internet gaming sites by ISP's?

In practical terms how soon will this bill go into effect? i.e when will my bank stop excepting transactions from neteller?
