The regulations themselves are pretty weak.

What the banks do in response to the regulations is the open question. The regs and law basically give the banks a free hand to block any transaction they dont like if they "feel" it relates to unlawful internet gambling.

Will the banks begin wholesale blocking of transactions to poker sites? Probably. Will the banks begin wholesale blocking of transactions to offshore 3rd parties that then might make a transfer to a poker site? Hard to say, and that is the $1,000,000,000 question, literally.
