  19. IMO, online poker is just a fad...I HIGHLY doubt anyone will be playing it within the next 5 years. By 2005...poker will be obsolete and probably won't get enough ratings to even be shown on ESPN anymore.
  20. Hey Mojo. FU prick!!!!!!

    How about read my last post. This rule will now be enforced!!!!! It wasn't before. Banks will comply now. In case you didn't know or havent heard.

  21. I think you're a bit confused and think this article relates to the UIGEA. The things in that article have been in place for several years already and were/are not specific to online gambling.

    How are you relating that decade old article with what's currently happening with the UIGEA regs and enforcement?
     
  22. It relates because banks have not paid attention to the governments request to basically spy on accounts. Now they are. The UIGEA will require banks to report anything abnormal to the proper agency such as online gaming transactions. I had Matchbook.com request my D/L number and SSN# last week when I wanted to withdrawl money and they have never asked for that info before. I asked why and they would only say that "it was for id purposes only". This will be happening at every online gaming site, including poker sites. So this article that I gave to the link to applies becasue this is exactly the enforcement our gov is going to use.

    Thanks for the intelligent reply, unlike the rest of these morons who posted.
