It is a threat, however no need to panic, the bill stil must be voted on by the Senate, then it goes through like the house-senate mesh the bills meeting, then the President has to sign it, etc.

You can bail out all your money (if you so choose...) much later in the process.

No you should be lobbying your senator like the rest of us and get everyone you know to do it and get this anti gaming crap shut down.

You just have to switch to horseracing. There is an exemption in the bill for horseracing because I guess the Republicans aren't worried about moral corruption if you use the internet to bet $5000 dollars on Whippity Doo to win the 8th race today, or bet $5000 on a quinella. But - if you want to play .50 cent no limit hold em on the internet - well then you are a dangerous criminal and should be put in jail.

So when is the Sklansky Theory of Horse Racing book coming out? I think I will really need to buy it because I've never bet on horses on the internet before, but that's what the congress says I can do so I need to learn about it.

And when is the Party horse racing site coming out? Is their rakeback available? Please pm me with serious, reliable offers. Thankyou.

they also voted against it, just by a slightly narrower margin. they were still 2:1 in favor of the bill.

The House w/ the current republican majority regularly use a statement like this with retarded bills that never get anywhere.
"Rep. Goodlatte said the bill would help stop the “moral decline” that he claims is now occurring in America."
online gambling is just a new term being added to the priors...gay marriage, gay adoption, sodomy, flag burning, abortion, stem cell research etc.

I'll be shocked if this passes the Senate
