Default Re: Rakeback versus VIP at Truepoker (Hey, he asked.)

(3) I am a firm believer that this will be eventually cleared up in court. If the government never pursues the enforcement, everyone will just laugh and piss on them. If they do, they will end up detaining and/or taking to court someone from online poker community. After a year of marching through the process, it will end up somewhere in the Federal Court of Appeals that will rule that poker is a game of skill and the present Act does not outlaw online poker. Precedence will be set, and any further infrigements on our rights will be thrown out by any court in the United States.

Precedence has already been set on the "poker is skill" by decisions filed re: Billy Baxter back in the 80s by the Federal Appeals Court in New Orleans.
