Nate,

In all seriousness, are you worried about the money you have on poker sites? It may be stupid, but I'm concerned there will be panic and frozen funds. Is it not a worry at all? Will the banks start blocking this stuff early? Sorry if I'm being paranoid.

Im' fairly certain that whatever this bill requires the banks to do they will not do so early. Banks aren't in the business of spending more money than they have to.

No I'm leaving my accounts funded. If this conf. report passes today we are still looking at or around 270 days before the new law will be enforced.

Your avatar is about as painful as watching this bill pass.

Can anyone else confirm this? What kind of time do we have before the law goes into effect if this passes?

Jeff,

I don't know. We need to see the text of the legislation first, among other things. I'm not especially worried, I guess, but I pretty much play at only one or two big sites that are unlikely to go under.

Don't know what, if any, good it will do but I just called both of my Senators and my Rep AGAIN and left voice mails. I feel like I'm pissing into Hurricane Katrina, though.

[censored]. This blows. I think I'll go lose the rest of my online roll tonight.

[BHold]

Sigh, what a rediculous govermental system we have. Rule by a bunch of average fools trying to make a buck or promote ignorant ideas they never had the sight to question from their upbringing. "Gambling is bad, poker is gambling!" Yay for "freedom".
