The thing that bothers me about this is that IMHO these poker sites are not just sitting on their money. If they are smart -- and I would have to assume they're not run by idiots -- the money that sits in a players account at a poker site is probably invested somewhere, earning interest to the parent company of the site and providing additional revenue.
Say you have 10,000 members worldwide, each with an average of $100 in their account at a given time (just a conservative guess) -- that's a cool $1million cash you're sitting on at any given moment. You're telling me you're not earning interest on that?
