    Hopefully it never happens but if the US bans online poker I just wondered who would move where to continue playing this game we love.

    Im in Canada so I think I'm safe since our Government only stays in power for 6 months or so.

    If they ban it, they can't enforce it. People use neteller, neteller isn't located in the US, and you can use it for more than poker. they can't do shit

    They could have all of the major ISPs in the country block access to poker/gambling sites.

    Not that it would happen, but there is the power to do it.

    This will remain the most loop-holed issue for many years to come, and it will take some heavy developed issues to truly make anyone to get to work on it. But I see it coming sooner than I once thought, but it's still far down the road.

    I'd move to Cancun. On second thought, I'd move to any non-US city that uses the motto "What happens in _____, stays in _____" You really cant go wrong with any of these places!

    We would still play against you guys but I figured you will just annex a small island and take ove r and make your own poker playing country.
