Engineer, there is federal appellate case law that holds that the Wire Act only applies to sports betting.....

I welcome a court challenge to the DoJ's contention that Internet poker is covered under the Wire Act (for example, if the DoJ were to go after ePassporte). I think we would prevail for the reasons you stated.

What I don't want is regs against us, putting us on the defensive while shutting down our games. I certainly would try to get these to allow us to have a better court case. You stated the reasons yourself. You can play at FT and PokerStars, and you can move your money though ePassporte just fine. Why shut it down to try to get something better?

I suppose it doesn't matter...UIGEA is specific in that it doesn't define what is legal and what isnt', so it's unlikely regs to enforce it would.
