Your forecast for the next 6 months of online poker in the US???

[DasZeitgeist]

I dont think it will be shut down, since their is a huge surge of Australian, Asian, and European players right now.

Online poker in the US will be dead within the next 4-6 months. It will come back in approximately 2-3 years licensed and regulated by the US government.

However, it will be taxed at about a 25 percent rate. This, in addition to the rake will make the game most unprofitable.

That's what I was about to say--maybe he meant some kind of add'l "gambling tax" on top of regular income tax?

I'm worried about US sites charging B&M-type rake, combined with built-in reporting to the IRS to guarantee that you're taxed to the exact penny, that will make it not worth the trouble.

[Kamakize]

Honestly what do you think the feds are doing with the records? They are going to start cases on all of us that had funds in there for breaking the wire fraud laws.

Trust me many , if not all of use will see a letter or a court soon
