Players must act to make this an ISSUE of Poker
Bubmack, sorry but that sort of "poor us .. hope someone else can solve this problem" is the line we do NOT need to waste time on. That is precisely what we do not need to read .... 3 votes ..
The House version would have been dead and buried if 3 Reps had voted the other way ... 3 out of 424. It was that close.
The "industry" will not "find a way around it" because most of its customers will go do something else less burdensome for their at home entertainment. Players play because it has been made easy and convenient. Without the US Banking system, it will not be easy and convenient so US players will NOT take a way "around it".
The problem is real and imminent and it is up to the customers to stop it, the "industry" cannot make it go away.
A lot of posters on this site spend a lot of time on seemingly pointless debates and commentary. Next time, instead of debating about what onlinechamp or Granny or Lori or Mike Haven or Booya said or did not say, take 10 minutes and directly write your Senators and get someone else to do so also.
MAKE ONLINE POKER AN ISSUE for your SENATOR. Make it a vote about a right to play poker, a longtime American pasttime.
