actually I think the odds of something getting passed is fairly high, the problem will be the stipulations, restrictions, etc...They aren't going to be nearly as player friendly as in the past and certainly won't be rewarding sites like PokerStars. I wish they could somehow use the PokerStars model in terms of creating legislation and laws for regulation but I don't think we'll get that lucky. | |

I don't get it - if the feds really want to legalize it - all they need to do is require the sites to register in the US and send an IRS 1099 to each account holder for any winnings for the calendar year, just like any other non-wage payer has to do here. | |

well, "the fed" is not one entity... the bill being presented to congress is how we find out if "the fed" wants to legalize online poker. | |

i didn't see a thread on this here, but cliffs from 2+2 - Cliffs: HR 2366, the Online Poker Act of 2011 - Poker Legislation - Poker and Gambling Laws |

From reading the cliffs earlier today, it appears that this bill will allow the B&M's a monopoly on the US market for at least the first two years. | |

Here's Rep. Barton speaking at the WSOP about the bill. He's hoping for finalizing it before August of next year. | |

Barton says best case scenario is it's passed in 2 weeks, realistically it's passed within a year | |
