    <p>I still have no idea why we're lobbying to have ourselves taxed heavily. I have a feeling that when poker becomes officially legal and the govt gets its hands on our money, we're really going to miss the days of quasi-legal poker. It will be gg most of the really cool promos the sites offer currently  imo.</p>

    <p>The people getting rich are the sites which are all off shore.  Picking and choosing victims/customers in their profits.  Time to make this thing legit and regulated.</p>

    <p>"It will be gg most of the really cool promos the sites offer currently  imo."   No way!!!! I'm sure there will be more promos with the influx of deposit options. As soon as online poker is legal in the US There will be an influx of users as well, say hello to donkeys like in the post-moneymaker days! Online poker being illegal is just like marijuana being illegal. If its legal, it doesn't cause any problems, but when its illegal, all of a sudden normal people are criminals and the government misses out on billions of tax dollars. Its win/win to legalize both.</p>

    <p>good point man.  A lot of people don't play because its "illegal" or here from someone that it is.  It would be another "moneymaker" effect if they legalized it.  I'm dreamin' of that day :)</p>
