    reps. from va have pushed the anti online gaming bill to goto the next step in congress. Does anyone think this may really pass? I would love to hear some feed back from those more educated on the subject. Also i heard the emphasis will be on the lending institutions and their involvment with the online gaming world. So would we still be able to play but at our own risk?? Just curios.. thanks--DUB.

    i never really looked into this but what is their reasoning for doing this?

    can they really stop it considering all poker sites operate outside the US?

    Look at the bill. They are going after the banking companies that accept money back and forth to things connected to Poker/Gambling sites. This is why I think in a political conservative move it passed the subcommittee but it will die in the house due to banking lobbyists.
