Default I don\'t think too many people know about the legislation yet...

Just talked to my ex-wife who's a poker room manager in Reno, and she hadn't heard a word about it. I know some of her dealers play online along with the players and I just couldn't believe she didn't know.
I guess the fish population is larger than I thought.

Most will not know until they goto log in to Party and find out they can not..Even then they still may not know why they can not play..I hope Party is very tactful in there message as to the reason WE can no longer play...

I know a handful of *winning* players who play every single day who had no idea.

If you dont read the internet forums or follow the latest political headlines, odds are you havent heard.

And hopefully that OTHER sites may still cater to them, although I highly doubt this for obvious reasons.

Friend of mine who is a total fish/recreational player (maybe once a month at the most) who never frequents poker-forums e-mailed me this evening after just hearing about the legislation.
Was asking for my opinion.

He didn't know specifically that Party was shutting out Americans though.

Well, they'll sure as h*ll know if they tried to log on to any of the crypto skins. They've already shut us off.
