more bad news:( not lookin good for poker...

[klock1213]

Other gov't don't take a better stance. If all the poker sites settle for big $$... Trust some other countries will follow suit for the money. Not EU, but I can see a number of nations trying. Look at Costa Rica Tico Times for news on what that govt is now trying to get? LOL They didn't know it was gambling.... Gambling I tell ya.

I'm sorry. I should have been more specific in my post. i was referring to the EU.

i don't steal ( except blinds ), i take care of my kid, i have deposited less than $100 in 3 years ( what other form of entertainment can you get 3yrs for $100?) and i have made friends and connections on various poker forums, who helped me to improve my game and am on the way up, what's wrong with all that?

This is getting to be utterly ridiculous. The government has no right.

I think its stupid. its true the govt wants there cut

[Peteyweestro]

Like i said in the other thread, the gov could tax the big wins and allow us our God given right of freedom to play how we want and when we want.Then they would be happy with their cut and so would we. The fact that they went after " Use My Wallet " says they are not going to let up with just the big 3 they raided like alot of people in the community thought, it looks like they are going to make a concerted effort to shut it all down so we have nothing to say about it, then they will let the major land based casinos grease their palms with some cash and then they will let the casinos open up poker rooms online i bet

[abwil2]

Yep Petey I think thats been the plan all along. I think they(land based casions) have had a HUGE part in all this whether its being said or not.
