You pose a great question TT. I think life may be better as we currently stand than if the government continues to get involved in our lives at this level.

Bingo! Some day we will look back and wish that online poker was banned, because those were the good old days when there were back-door methods to fund an account. Do we really want the government regulating and taxing our games? What if they screw it all up? What if the compromise is a situation similar to the games in Florida right now?
Keep it coming 2+2.... lets brainstorm, how do we encourage regulation without damaging out game?

[/ QUOTE ]We already pay taxes.The real crush of regulation would be on the sites.Those are the ones who are not paying taxes,not the players.Although,this taxing of poker sites could effect us as well,by companies who try to pass their new burden to players through higher rake.Free market would hopefully control this to an extent.At least this would seem logical.How exactly does it work in other countries where it is regulated and sites are taxed???If someone who lives somewhere like this could chime in and explain the actual effects that would be great.It is a very interesting question,and id like to hear from someone who is living it,what the reality of playing online poker under government regulation is.
