This would be a disaster. I don't see casual fish sending money orders to Gibralter to play poker [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Not necessarily. The fish probably won't have to send money orders. They will just have to use Netteller, Firepay, etc. I don't really think they can stop banks from transferring money to third party non-US companies like Netteller, etc. They can only stop them from transferring directly to gambling sites. Beside. Kyl has been introducing these bills for years, and they never get anywhere.
