Default Re: What actual regulation do you want to see for online poker?

Why regulate online poker and who is to regulate it? It's done a fine job regulating itself. Is E-bay supposed to be regulated too? And the entire Internet?

Online poker is not the government's business - it's not their jurisdiction. When sites like Party go public in London, they're being regulated over there.

Regulation is another word for monopoly.

When I play online poker or tic-tac-toe or buy stuff on E-Bay or order strippers, I do so AT MY OWN RISK. Do I need my life regulated?

The American government has not accepted that technology has advanced and changed our lives. The game of poker (and many other things) have been transformed for the better. If poker players all over the world can find a game at any time of night or day, well, that's progress. And it's not the government's job to stop this progress.

Why is online poker even an issue in congress?
