My master card charges a extra fee to fund poker sites. A $2.75 surcharge started to appear a few months ago. I ended up getting a neteller account, no problems there.
There is little chance of «harper following the ŮS lead in on line poker. Harpers power base is in the west where casino`s and poker rooms and legal. And on the other hand, we don`t sneak bills onto others at the last moment to get them passed. Even in the US, I don`t think the online bill would of passed if it was by itself.

I havent been able to use my credit cards on most poker sites since I started playing 2 years ago. I suspect Canada won't make a move on the matter. Perhaps that is just my hope.

If it happens it won't be for a while and we will be in the same situation so not a big deal.

All 13 of us will just have to play on Stars or Full tilt

It's a huge, huge stretch to link the fedral government to either Scotiabank's actions OR local law enforcement.

Given the way the law had to be backdored in the US, I doubt we have much to worry about from a minority government.

Visa Canada will be merged with Visa International and Visa USA with the intent to go public....I doubt any Visa will work on gambling sites sooon.

That being said, I highly doubt that Canada will follow USA decision, since according to Bush, we harbour thousands of terrorists. Since Canada is a democracy it is prime minister Harpers' moral obligation to allow these terrorists their historical venue to launder money.

At least the USA is a safer place today.

both the liberals and the conservatives are really free market radicals. i doubt either will go after gambling, except maybe to tax it more efficiently. the bloc are too french to ban gambling and the greens are too craaaaaazy. don't vote ndp though.
