This is what for poker I have been advocating all along, use the UIGEA to our advantage.
This model fits the 'skill' games model.
I notice they are even in the United States!

True, they can offer a game online. Unfortunately, they don't permit actual betting. Rather, they charge a monthly fee, from which the prizes come. I don't imagine any of us can make a living from any of the "legal" games the way they're structured today. After all, the fish at today's games lose more than $19.95/mo.

It appears we need legislation to get what we want...games where real money moves around.

Yes, but if it catches on, it will make the online poker experience more familiar to more people. Sooner or they will want to cross over to "real poker", which will keep the aquarium stocked and increase our position politically -- I hope.
