First of all a few things don't make sense. I've seen people make reference to online sports betting and other crap like that not getting banned... is this true?
Because if it is whose to say the money im transferring to bodog or a sports book like mansion is going to be bet on a sport instead of poker?
And if all those gamblnig transactions are banned well ok, what about if I want to buy something online using a neteller account or firepay, are these institutions all going completely out of business?

For them to stop people from depositing online they'd have to completely block out any use of these types of internet wallets since they'd have no idea where the money is going. I can't see how banks will like this too much.

Also it doesn't really seem logical to me that a multi billion dollar industry is just going to somehow disappear just like that in the blink of an eye, this industry is bigger than the alcohol one that turned into a black market many years ago. It just does't seem likely to me that it's going to disappear. I think the sites will either find a way around this by maybe offering a new deposit method on their site that is disguised completely and maybe shows up differently each time its dispatched to withdraw from someones bank account.

If not that, theres too much money to be made from this market and I think something will happen in the USA where somebody who wants to get rich is going to take advantage and start some online website and get a law or something passed to make it possible.

Doesn't seem possible to me for the entire industry to disappear in the blink of an eye.

Also another thing about all the fishes not going through the effort to deposit, the thing is.... alot of the "fish" online do not even realize or think they are fish. Theres plenty of fish even right here at 2+2 that would be very willing to go out of their way to deposit and access the online sites. Many regulars i've played with do understand how to play correctly but do not have the discipline. I'd say that very few players are playing online knowingly giving their money away, they are trying to win because they think they can.

When I first got into online poker as a clear fish, neteller did not work in my state (maryland) but this did not stop me from finding SOME way to get money on there. The main problem back then for me was that I was trying to oplay at eurobet for rakeback but they didn't have IGM pay or firepay and I didn't have neteller. So I just had my affiliate transfer me some money in and I paid him on paypal, then when it was time to cash out I used moneybookers. Believe it or not, many fish would be very willing to find a way to deposit if they know one exists.
