The key to getting online poker legalized

to be legalized, the government would probably tax the casinos as well... don't know if that's the right wording, but the casinos would pay the government. I believe this is how all the NV casinos do it (which is why there is no state tax)... Don't know where I heard it from and I can't believe it to NOT be true, but I believe US casinos are trying to get online casinos legal and regulated. I would assume how the online casino is taxed or whatever would be mainly based on how a B&M casino is taxed

Yeah, the government wouldn't be able to tax casinos/poker rooms that are based in other countries afaik, but they'd make a killing from American owned/operated/regulated sites.

Of course our B&M casinos would love to offer their poker & games to the public via the internet, but I really don't think this will happen in the forseeable future.
