the whole United States Congress, with much publicity, has declared to be a bad practice. Bad enough to have a Federal law against it.

There is no Federal law against online poker. The DOJ says there is, but they're full of [censored]. And even they know they're full of [censored], otherwise they would have prosecuted CardPlayer by now, since CardPlayer still runs .com ads.

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

which is why I don't get why we are looking to be regulated. Currently we pay no taxes and we aren't doing anything illegal. If it ain't broke.....

The two bills seem to do more on defining what is legal. I am happy with the current definition and I am not sure we should be looking to change it.

But I am open to changing my mind, I just really haven't heard a good explanation yet why I should.

If you are a winning player at the end of each calendar year, your profit should be reported, and subsequently taxed.

Lol. I was referring to fees (taxes) that will be imposed in a regulated environment. It is my contention that the house fees will go up dramatically compared to our current reality.

I agree with you, if you are an American citizen you should pay what you owe.

For someone who prides himself on being logical to the point of absurdity, this post is pretty poorly thought out.

This one seems to be falling behind.

The DOJ recently admitted that they're full of [censored] here:

DOJ spokesperson, Ms. Hanaway, to the effect that she specifically admitted something about betting on the Internet not being an illegal activity for persons under federal law.

It's too bad that someone didn't ask Ms. Catherine Hanaway about the DOJ's decision not to prosecute Card Player at the Judiciary Committee hearing last Wednesday. Next time I recommend Mr. Raymer as a witness.
