Sigh, this has been posted in so many places. The bill, even if it does pass, seriously does not change anything. Aside from scaring some fish, and apparently a bunch of 2p2ers, all it does is disallow credit cards and and other electronic transfers from dealing with our poker sites. They CANNOT stop you from using neteller, and from there your money can still go into a poker site just as it always has. The vast majority of credit cards already don't allow you to deal with those gambling sites, so there won't be any noticeable effect. The heralding of this being a "ban on online gambling" is absolutely absurd. They wouldn't even be able to stop poker sites from advertising on television, given that those sites offer free poker, which is perfectly legal.

I think this is actually debatable AJ. There is some speculation that this would actually lead ISPs to block access to internet gambling sites. I am not arguing this is or is not the case, but there are some respected posters in legislation arguing that it is very possible (logistically).
