And we get no vote at all, VERY NICE.

This is actually a good thing for us believe it or not.

A good strategy may be to start carrying small bankroll amounts online. I can foresee Neteller closing up shop with our money if poker is no longer a valid merchant for them (I'd guesstimate well over 50% of their business is in poker related transactions).

I think this is completely ridiculous advice. Seriously, I think the guy looking for 10 cents in the Backer section had more logic in his post.

I'd just hate to see online poker getting banned quicktime and having the tsunami of a lifetime. Some people have life savings online.

I think the rest of the world has enough poker players for them to continue their service.

You sure? The article does state that about half of online poker players are American, and that doesn't seem too far out of whack.

You're getting way, way, way ahead of yourserlf. These things take a LONG time. Just because the House votes in favor of a bill (which they have not) does not mean Neteller is going to go out of business! Even if this did become a law effective TODAY, Neteller does a lot of things besides cater to online gamblers, and I'm sure they would come up with a contingency plan for those of us who choose to break the law.

Yep, sneaky bastards. Still, the Senate has better things to do, they have burried this thing before and will again.

Come live in Australia, we have a relatively sensible/libertarian government and gambling is not taxable

Also cleansing ales are plentiful

The longer there is no decision the longer we have no problem. Possibly the idiots who wrote the bill don't get re-elected and the issue goes away.

But in any event it can't go to the Senate without a vote from the House and can't become law without going to the Senate.
