    everything I have read is whether it will only be allowed in individual states or the entire country... pretty sure any gambling that US-regulated is not going to include internationally-domiciled players.

    I have called, emailed, written letters to Kyle, McCain, many AZ Congressmen, and other US Senators for years now.

  7. res- beg to differ but that is an assumption. if they tax deposits nationally as proposed in the frank/reynolds bill, there is no reason that fields couldn't also consist of international players. US government would get the same amount of money either way.

    Let's not assume. It's really way too soon to have any idea what any regulation, should it pass, will look like.

  19. ON IT! everyone DO IT
  20. Takes about a minute and 30 seconds to send all three. And it can't possibly hurt to do so. So everyone stop reading the mindless babble with everyone saying "fml" and "omg what now" and at least do this. Writing personalized e-mails wouldn't hurt either.
  21. Calling on Monday is the absolute best....but at least do the emails :)

    Tell YOUR lawmakers that poker is not a crime!

    1st , im really sorry for u guyz located in US , that sux not to be able to play online , esp for those who make a living playing poker. however im gonna have to say that Poker is not a crime ,but Money Laundry , Bank fraud and illegal online gambling operations are against US laws as u all know. these sites werent shut down for online poker , but for the financial crimes that their founders been doing for a long time.

    i hope u all get what u want n get back to online poker , it sux to play tournies without US based players. gl u all.
    peace :)
