I don't really see that the 'spirit' of this law is that you can be allowed to pay rakeback.

In fact, it seems really rather clear on the issue that you can't, it actually specifically outlaws it.

If you're going to start the same thread over and over, I'm going to have to find that "ignore" button.

One tip: you might want to do do some research into what a "law" actually is.

You are correct, Lori. However, this is probably the absolute worst place to try and challenge the masses.

I appreciate your tenacity, but acceptance is a virtue also.

why do you constantly have to be the thorn in the side of both people looking for a piece of THIER money back, and those that can provide it?

its clear that certain poker rooms look the other way in these matters, so why continue to fuss about it?

It's clear that Martha Stewart broke a law, and just because the government pretty much "looked the other way" and gave her some BS slap on the wrist doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to fuss about it. If it were any of us in that situation, we'd be doing 25 years in a "pound you in the ass" prison.

What law are you talking about?

All I see is a term from a private contract. Plus a crusader who for some reason is determined to make sure that term is enforced even though it is none of her business.

The first person to jump to semantics in an internet argument is almost always the one who is wrong.

Law vs. term of a contract is not a semantics argument, it is a factual argument. The only party that can enforce that term is Empire (and possibly PartyPoker depending on the contract between them).
