The Future of Online Poker in the USA

The best way to be proactive with your concerns is to join the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) and the follow them at least weekly. Also, join poker sites like 2 plus 2 as they keep up to date daily with whatever poker news their might be. Nothing will happen, IMAO, to change in the US for a least another year as there are bigger issues for Congress to deal with right now. Maybe some time in 2014.

Never going to happen. no regulation. Thats the whole reason it wont pass. turning it into a interstate program = regulation+taxes. One of the problems is people who play for a living cant get taxed. seeing as the tax would be a fed tax And its still illegal on a fed level. turning it into interstate program would mean the state would get the tax. It's the same as the medical maihuanna program. state voters say yes but feds will never change their stance. Itnterstate poker would suck. But less power to feds and more power to states is good.
