The legislation might actually have been a good thing for internet poker in the long term. This would be due to the fact that it has forced some of the larger sites to start fostering interest in markets outside of the U.S. For the duration of the time that online poker and gambling are curtailed in the U.S., these companies will be working hard to pull in customers from Europe, Asia, and Africa. When online poker and gambling is finally legalized and regulated in the U.S., there will be entirely new sources of fish at these sites.
