Men in black masks will come into your home and take you away. Many players who continued to play online are being held in a secret camp where they're governmental reeducation is taking place. Be carefull, they're monitoring this thread, I may be in danger just for writing this. Wait, the black helicopter is back I have to go.

Here's an excerpt from a media release (pdf) put out by the WA state gambling commission. Draw your own conclusions.

[ QUOTE ]
Penalties and Enforcement:
...
Enforcement will focus on larger, higher level Internet gambling activities, such as gambling sites and service providers.... As for players, gambling on the Internet, whether playing poker, slots or another gambling game, runs a risk of a felony conviction. However, there is not going to be an active campaign against regular players. If players' names appear in an operator's seized records, the Gambling Commission would likely send the player a warning letter, notifying them that betting online is a felony. If a player's name reappears again, charges may be filed.

As always, sitting here in socialist-ruled Britain, so jealous of your American freedoms.

Yeah, the tax-heavy welfare state must really get you down. Oh wait, that's right, gambling winnings aren't taxed in GB.

Just remember to keep playing this while playing online.
