Perhaps you are right.
To me, it lumped in all forms of poker (online and B&M) that are limited.

To the gov't just can't stop the popularity of poker. Be it on-line or live.
Word in NY is there are people who want to re-do the Catskills to add gaming, but Donald Trump will not let it happen.
Everytime the gov't has tried prohibition it has lead to higher prices for citizens, more crime -- not less, and sadly a lot of deaths.
Given the number of players and the amount of money, the gov't will eventually get it. Sadly more people will likely to die before it happens.
I don't know how much new money is deposited on-line in gaming, but Congress passed a tax, now being collected by off-shore middle men. It has to be at least a couple of billion a year.
What a way to run a country.
