Some Info about Choice poker

[Ted Geisel]

Try looking at the history and legalization of poker in California to understand the difference between a banked game, where the house "accepts or makes wagers, and the non-banked games, like poker, where the Players are the ones making and accepting wagers .... Don't the terms "Bet, call, raise, fold" ring a bell ? Does the House utter ANY of them ??? No, the Players do. It is the Players who are making or accepting or declining wagers, not the House.

Anyway, even if you don't agree, the Fifth Circuit decision in the Mastercard Internet Gambling Litigation, already DIRECTLY said your quoted language did not cover non-sports internet gambling.

But, you won't bother to actually READ that precedent because you KNOW the answer already.
