the Catch is that you have to buy your credits at the casino.

Wow if this goes through it has some real potential. Especially if they can link up the funding like they do the progressive slots. Fund from any casino would be the idea.

i've been playing for free and the software is nice. just some base games, but very unique.

i think that they are ready to challenge the doj, cuz from what i see, that is certainly an online, real money casino.

Why would in-house casino funding give an edge? And why would the casinos want that aswell? Poker is relatively non-profit for casino. Drawing people away from the BJ tables and encouraging them to stay at home playing online seems strange to me. Or is this simply a way of trying to cash in on the online explosion?

1. It's gaming business they are doing even after you've left the casino. ($$$)

2. If you do win some dough, that assures Foxwoods that you'll be coming back at some point. ($$$)

So you can only cash out at the casino?

Well, it does appear poker is one of the included games:

"Enjoy your favorite games — slots, poker, blackjack, and so much more — at home! Win big cash payouts!"
