Default Re: What is your definition of Regulation?

[ QUOTE ]


[/ QUOTE ]We already pay taxes.The real crush of regulation would be on the sites.

[/ QUOTE ]

And don't you think the sites will pass the buck to the end user? After all their foreign customers don't force the company to pay additional taxes.

I don't think the burden will be via higher rake, it will have to be implemented as a dedicated and separate rake that only kicks in when the player is a US citizen.

[/ QUOTE ]I see your point,but we are assuming an off shore company in this scenario???Thats also another factor that would greatly be affected by legalizing and regulating online poker.We might safely assume that if given the green light alot of american casinos and other companies would swoop in like hawks on this profitable market.So your point is well taken,but would be a completely different scenario for taxing sites if they were an american company on american soil.
