It's kind of like when Colorado and Washington legalize marijuana at a state level but still able to be penalized by federal laws, now a lot of states are pushing for it to be legalized at the federal and theres a bill that will. so give it to next fiscal year and online gambling will be legal.

Internet Poker is not illegal under federal law, if the state where the player resides does not make it illegal, as contrasted with marijuana which every state makes it illegal. The federal statute says illegal if illegal in the state. Las Vegas would be able to contract with states where internet poker is not illegal without fear of the feds.

but
"Another caveat in the bill bans companies that illegally participated in online gaming between 2006 and 2011 for a period of five years."
I dont think we get Pokerstars any time soon.

all I can say is merge better start processing those withdrawal requests within 48 hours or they are going out of business. Competition is great for the consumer.

For now yes... But it paves the way for other states to join in.

It will be a domino effect now

So people in Nevada can play real money on Pokerstars right now? And what do you mean when you say "we'll have tournaments there?"
