Holy [censored]. Didn't expect it to be this [censored] fast.

I would like to go on the record as being the first to express being disappointed about this decision.

ZBTHorton · #5 10-02-2006, 02:28 AM

I knew it was coming, and it still made me sad to read it.

I really can't believe they've done this. I thought they would at least put up some sort of a fight.

"The Act is expected to be signed into law by President Bush within the next two weeks. If signed into law, it will immediately make unlawful the receipt by a gambling business of proceeds or monies in connection with unlawful internet gambling. The Act does not clarify the definition of unlawful gambling. However, as the first piece of Federal legislation dealing explicitly with internet gaming, it does make clear that the US government intends to stop the flow of funds from Americans to online gaming operators through criminal sanction. The Act also asserts that, under US law, a wager must be permitted under the laws both of the customer’s place of residence and that of the operator.

After taking extensive legal advice, the Board of PartyGaming Plc has concluded that the new legislation, if signed into law, will make it practically impossible to provide US residents with access to its real money poker and other real money gaming sites."

This is just the beginning. If they came to this conclusion, the other sites probably will, as well.
