S.627, what will it do exactly
I have been following this of course, but what is it exactly that the bill will do. As I understand it it will make funding a gaming account illegal in some way. But is this just using internet or wire methods, through a bank or CC. So is it the act of funding the account by you personally, or as I may have read just illegal on a banks part to interact with these entities. So for example would it still be ok to send a money order to a site. And what about something like neteller which in priciple is not just for gaming but for online transactions. How could they not let you fund something like this or paypal, and if it was not a US company how could they bar them from working with a gaming site.
And given the response from skillpoker.com, wouldn't sites interested in the US market just do the same.

Re: Fear mongering blows
What jek is doing is e-mailing poker sites on what plans they have should the s.627 become law, and he is sharing their responses with us. I don't understand how this is fear mongering. In my opinion, the responses from card rooms and discussions from 2+2ers on this thread have alleviated fears that US customers will no longer be able to play.

Re: S.627, what will it do exactly
I think if you read some of the responses by the managers of the gambling sites, you will see that nobody has defined with certainty the effect of the s.627 becoming law. PokerStars' lawyers are nutting out the fine print, and the rest are waiting to see I believe.
If you do a search for past posts here on the Internet Gambling forum, especially the ones started by Ted Giesel, there was an ongoing discussion on the effect of this bill.

Re: If you have to ask, then maybe you should reconsider your pro status
I have to ask too, but I won't reconsider my pro status. All my money still comes from poker. Whatever you say can't change that. So please, preytell.
