"The US House of Representatives passed legislation, 317 to 93, to stop online gambling including Internet poker rooms. Represenatives' Goodlatte and Leach merged similar anti-online gambling bills that will make it illegal to fund player accounts with credit cards, bank transfers or any other standard accepted practices."
So, what are everyones thoughts on this? Looks like on-line poker is about to become illegal in the states. What is everyone planning on doing if this really goes through? From what I've read, theres a very high chance that it will pass congress and eventually become law. I for one would hate to see this happen.
