Wouldnt the big banks like BOA and Wachovia have the "means" to enforce it?

Yeah, but what's to stop me from getting an account with my little local bank? Tasty.

I don't think that's the issue. Only the most fervent of doomsayers seem to think that serious players won't be able to get their money on some poker sites somewhere.

The issue is how difficult it will become for the casual, the recreational, the first time player to get their money on a site. Cause I'm pretty sure very few of these folks are going to be thinking, hey, I'll just research which banks don't enforce this stuff and switch accounts so I can try out this online poker thing I've heard so much about.

Also, what may trickle down into public consciousness, whether true or not, is that online poker is illegal. Which may deter some of the first timers from ever giving it a try.
