According to Jay Bailey at the National Right for Online Gaming, the Safe Ports Act (H.R. 4954), which contains the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, is expected to be signed into law by President Bush on Friday, October 13th.
In the meantime, please remain calm regarding this issue. These online poker sites are not going to "steal" anyone's money and its impact on Neteller and Firepay long-term is in question. We will continue to update you with more information as we know it.
On this week's edition of the Podcast (www.pocketfives.com/podcast), we'll have Poker Players Alliance President Michael Bolcerek, National Right for Online Gaming Executive Director Brian Jakusik, and Gambling Law Authority Professor Nelson Rose. This is a must listen to for everyone on PocketFives, as you will hear straight from our sources and industry experts all about how this legislation will and will not affect you. The show will be available a bit after midnight Wednesday.

Correct, this is a huge issue in the internet gambling legislation. The degree/manner to which this will be enforced remains to be seen.

I think the ISPs will comply. If they go to isp's like BellSouth, or Comcast or whoever and tell them the law requires them to block poker site's IPs they will do it. Just like the banking industry will block DIRECT transactions to poker site or sites like Neteller. No doubt in my mind.
