Proposed internet poker ban in MA

[downrange]

I thought there was some banned list of states U.S. serving poker sites voluntarily observed? That go away or something otherwise how can Washington where it's clearly illegal still play online?

I really could care less what MA thinks about what I do and if they made it illegal that's not going to stop me. But my one and only fear in all of this is that by them doing so sites like ftp and stars and whoever put MA on a list of states they refuse access from.

Especially if the sites sense legalized poker or UIGEA being reversed/modified in the not-too-distant future I would expect those sites to be on their best behavior and to me that means observing laws where online poker has been made explicitly illegal.

So MA can make all the stupid laws they want; it's being refused access from the online sites that has me terrified.
