hi all

Will have more info on the gambling bill which was attached to another bill in the US which was guaranteed to go through

At this stage I must point out that the bill that has past so far is NOT that's NOT a ban on online poker

The bill is basically supposed to restrict / stop credit card and banking transactions for online gambling - which is NOT the same as a ban on online poker

This IS an important distinction and the feedback within the poker affiliate community and business is .... DONT PANIC

Neteller is still a legitimate way to fund money to and from poker sites

This bill does NOT ban online poker - ok it may make it a bit more difficult and some funding options may go - but this is NOT the same thing

We are waiting for more offical responses from the poker rooms themselves but it is important that people do not over react and make out this is a ban when clearly in legal terms it is NOT

The view across the poker industry seems to be - US players are NOT breaking the law by playing poker online

Will have more info and discussion over the next few days
