Re: UIGEA Fallout! Don\'t Worry about the eWallets: Worry about the Net
[ QUOTE ]
For a while, banks wouldn't cash Bodog checks. And Stars' main check processor pulled out on them.
I don't know much about the industry, so let me ask: why can't banks simply start blocking 3rd party check processors that are known to do business with internet gambling sites?

Because 1)they likely won't be required to, 2)it'd take them too many resources, and 3)nobody is paying that much attention to *withdrawals*, it's the deposits that the legislation focuses on (and ewallets, of course, get screwed by this.)
Also, stopped clocks being right twice a day etc., gaboon is probably right that no ewallet is particularly long for this world if it deals with sportsbooks/poker's a gray area. But that doesn't really matter, because ewallets are a distant second for convenience to things like the WSEX debit card and others the sites are working on.
