Whatever interpretation of the statue we assume from a first reading is likely to be wrong. But it looks pretty bad.

There is an exemption for situations where it would be impractical to determine if a transaction is gambling related.

Also, I think the criminal penalty would be only for those who knowingly process proscribed transactions...not poker players.

But wow.

It's for people who are in the "business of betting" who accept gambling related money over the internet, form what I read. I have no legal training, but coudnt this be interpreted as pro poker players cashing out and/or winning hands?

Well, the appropriate agency will take the statues, scratch their heads, and try to determine the intent and mix that with some degree of practical enforcement and issue an interpretation. We will have to wait.

Was loving the speech from the Nevada senator on how ridiculous adding the IG portion to the port security bill was until this part,

"Mr. Speaker, I will vote for this bill, but..."

My apologies, the link brought the thread up in threaded mode, and I'm not used to seeing a post all alone like that with the thread buried under the Quick Reply box. Again, sorry.

Dude listen carefully. Instead of coming into this thread and posting in ALL CAPS LIKE A RETARD. Why don't you quietly keep to your self, use your human brain and consciousness and go read the legislation forum.

The more people like you post crap like this, the more cluttered and less informational it gets. Also it just emphasizes you want to be spoon fed and not have to think for your self.

You must be one of the people I win money from at the tables. I'd like to say thank you, I'll try to put it to constructive use for the world.
