Default Re: NOW IS the time to seek declaratory relief for \"poker\", huh, PPA ?

Milton, I certainly agree that an Action for a Declaratory Judgment that online poker does not violate the Wire Act or the UIGEA, except for a few states, is far more likely to succeed than the iMEGA litigation. I am more optimistic about the iMEGA case than you, but you are right about it having to win on a broader basis than online poker which has clear supporting case law.
Not sure that iMEGA needs a home run, but at least a double. Declaratory Judgment for the federal legality of online poker and legality in most states just needs to avoid a strike out through bad umping. I do have one question, does the PPA have standing for such an action and is it ripe?
