Re: How much Tax Revenue if it was legal?
[ QUOTE ]
Require all sites available to US residents to be licensed by an American state not a foreign entity. [/ QUOTE ] How is this fair to sites regulated in Britian, etc.?

Re: How much Tax Revenue if it was legal?
[ QUOTE ]
If they set up a platform in which only U.S. players could play on, they are violating the WTO far more than they are now. [/ QUOTE ] No way. Nothing wrong with a legal US licenced online poker site to only allow people in the US to play. Businesses do not have to offer their services to the whole world. Most business are country specific and only offer services to one country. If a US licensed poker room accepts foreign customers than the US would expect tax on their total business. If a foreign entity also tried to tax them, the poker room would face double taxation if there is not a tax treaty on point and would have to decide whether to offer services to that foreign country. Many international businesses face double taxation issues, as do individuals who work in multiple countries and have multiple residences.

So Europeans could play on our platform, but we could not play on a European platform? Will the UK not be outraged? [/ QUOTE ] Obviously the UK being outraged does not weigh heavily on the US government.

The US does not want US citizens playing on line to such an extent they are arresting Citizens of other countries and subpeoning records of foriegn companies. If the US allowed US companies to have online casinos that are regulated by the US I think you would find most Americans would be more than happy to play on US sites only.
