Agreed. Remember, the UIGEA only restricts the ability of US banks to send funds *to* online gaming sites.

The Calvin Ayre quote is old news. They pulled US ads to focus on the asian markets months ago, and Bodog still maintains they have no inclination of leaving the US market. Personally I like the move as asians (or at least the ones I've played with in AC) are total donks.

while this is true, and i'm only playing devil's advocate here, but the banks can still block checks coming from poker sites.

while it doesn't make much sense nor is it very likely they would do that without being told to, HSBC bank has told it's customers that "playing poker online is illegal"

[erac22]

Lol, it's funny HSBC would tell its customers something that is completely untrue. Looks like yet another bank that won't be getting my business.

There is something funny going on with this article perhaps.

although I see no time stamp on the story as to when published looking at the AIM market and between 10-11 this morning gaming stocks took a short big dive before quickly rebounding within a few minutes. Though Party Gaming was up / down alot during this time period, this one and the other I looked at both took big dives very close in time.

Someone wanting to buy in cheap by causing a short scare to traders, driving price down?

Ah, I love conspiracies.....

But the checks don't come from the sites, the ones I've gotten come from a payment processor, like "Chex, Inc."

Besides, ePassporte is still a viable option, and since they do no allow transfers to Sports Books, their execs are under no threat similar to NETeller.

We haven't wasted anything. Why would banks, who already feel put upon by the impending regulations, go beyond what those regulations say they must do? It makes no sense.
