A positive sign, but it still feels like a change in all this will still take forever to have.

still a long way to go, will you keep track for me Nate?
Cool, it got introduced. Now all it needs is to pass, get signed into law, and at some point legal online poker again.
still a long ways to go!! just keep the fingers and toes crossed!! i want back at poker stars!!
what? I thought all this had already happened a year ago and were just dragging feet was going on? Didnt nevada already legalize this along with another state or 2? Wasnt it supposed to be back last year? why is this still an issue or is vegas just stalling the process out?
this bill will supercede the 2011 bill now making it a federal law allowing all states to participate in online gambling looks real good
Somebody must have paid him off to change his feeling towards online gaming. LOL
I still think they should have made it poker specific. A federal judge ruled last year that poker is not gambling by definition....so technically poker is no longer a violation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act based on that precedent. Just a little confirmation bill would be all it would take to get stars and tilt back to us.Quote:
