The law doesn't actually block U.S. players, it blocks all players while they are in the U.S, including all foreign players who are travelling here. The current trend of kicking US players off the sites is stupid because they will still be allowing foreign players to play (unlawfully) while in the US, and they unnecessarily block US players while they travel outside the country.

What the sites really should do is add a step to the login process where the player "certifies" their playing location, then blocks access to real-money games if the player indicates U.S. It isn't the site's fault poker players lie sometimes, and the site wouldn't be intentionally accepting bets that violate the new law.

Am I wrong?
