Re: Legality of Poker thread: ohio bank seizes funds/bank account of 2

What is the likelyhood that banks or the US government will begin to seize winnings from online gambling?

Not very high. If they decided to arrest someone on tax evasion or for the Wire Act they...

Re: Would YOU vote against the Port Security bill / UIGEA?

Your question is too basic. Why couldn't they vote against it and force a second vote with the legislation removed? More commonly, they all can apply pressure to their leadership to keep the...

Re: Do you think USA will have regulated online poker in 5 years?

I agree with this post, a lack of combination, added tax, and registration fees for the casinos is going to drive the price up significantly.

Re: Counter Offensive, How we deter our politicians and keep our game

I don't even support democrats. This is just an effective way to get our government to listen.

Re: PPA advocates lame duck action, PLEASE ignore them for now

I agree, they did a horrible job pre-legislation. I was just responding that they did exist. I would recommend everyone join because now they have gotten lots of press, then vote in new leadership....

UPDATE: Counter Offensive email for tracking

Per several suggestions which I agree with, this is more effective if we can track this. So, please copy the following email address when you send your donation. Be sure to include the amount...

Re: Counter Offensive, How we deter our politicians and keep our game

I agree with you, a tracking mechanism will be better. A couple points though. Since I can't do anything complex I will edit my post to include my email so I can be copied on donations. 1. The...

Re: They are weaklings, make them quit.

There is like two weeks until the election, no time for case studies. As I said before, win / lose, Democrat / Republican, Missouri / Tennessee, none of that matters very much at all. What matters...

Re: They are weaklings, make them quit.

No, it doesn't matter. There are almost no candidates, Democrat or Republican who have declared themselves in favor of regulated online gaming. Most are hedging their bets and saying they have not...

Re: Foreign ISPs

You don't need a foreign ISP, you will eventually just use your existing broadband to connect to a proxy server (an internet middle man) who will then connect you (privately, or at least more so) to...

They are weaklings, make them quit.

It occurred to me the other day we should really be even more angry with our politicians, and so should our country.

I mean there they are working on a piece of legislation which is going to keep...

Re: Counter Offensive, How we deter our politicians and keep our game

Don't quit. People standing in the rain all night deciding which bar they want to go to only get wet! Set a time limit, then pick an idea and go with it. I recommend mine (I am biased but I think...

Re: Follow-up to McCaskill thread - Placing an Ad in a big paper?

I would send all the money to McCaskill. The idea is to make a very large spike in the donation pile. If we do that then the news media will notice and seek out the PPA, poker sites and players,...

Re: Counter Offensive, How we deter our politicians and keep our game

This action is not meant as either a Republican or Democratic thing (at least not by me, others will use it that way). I only chose the Democratic candidate because it makes a statement against a...

Re: Counter Offensive, Follow Up Post

Some additional thoughts / suggestions:

1. Only focus on this race. Our time is too limited to gather enough support to create a noticeable spike if the effort is split amongst all races. This...

Counter Offensive, How we deter our politicians and keep our game

Here is the one way to be effective in sending a message to politicians. Make them worried about keeping control of their power. That is what they are most afraid of. The reality is we are in an...

Re: How Bout These \"Loopholes/End Runs\"? (poker sites take note)

It seems to me like Neteller (or any other) are not required. I just need an offshore bank account (which I use for all my good and bad foreign investments) who will take my account. They will then...

Re: Would this be a legal loophole?

Only true if it is illegal for me to be a player and wager maker, which most posts I have seen do not believe to be true. So, the people actually breaking the law are the offshore bank and offshore...

Re: Would this be a legal loophole?

The ISPs would want to avoid prosecution under the old wire act which makes it illegal to facilitate a gambling transaction (originally over the phone, but likely would apply to the internet).
