Stars will come back to the usa some way some how. the united states has to many online players for them not to. i am fairly sure that american players were a pretty substantial part of stars and every sites business.

Maybe, one day. But I gues it will take a lot more time...

Stars has more traffic now than they did before that fatal day. There are from 160000 up 200000 players online at any given time now, but I think that the way that they settled with the DOJ, they will be allowed back in the US as soon as the government gets off their ass and makes it legal.

I think when they make it legal it ill be for usa sites - not them - it will probably be banks allow deposits only into usa accounts and will not allow transfer internationally - that would be the wise thing to do - they r working on it

Nevada Online Poker Bill Passes Full Senate

Monday was not only Memorial Day but also a very special day for Assembly Bill 258. That is the bill, by the way, that will give Nevada the go ahead to create an infrastructure for intrastate online poker. The bill has previously passed the Assembly and the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously in both cases. The full Senate vote was what made Monday so special. The bill passed.

However, its passing was not unanimous this time; the vote was 19-2. The two who voted against the bill were two Republican senators, Barbara Cegavske and Elizabeth Halseth. Both Republican senators are from Las Vegas. I am not sure why they voted against the bill. After all, Las Vegas casinos are on board with the bill as a way to improve revenue for them since licenses would have to be tied to their operations. On the other hand both senators are Republicans who are notorious for being steadfast opponents to all forms of online gambling; they may both be with the Conservative movement. But that is just speculation since their reasons for voting nay were not disclosed.

At this point the bill will return to the Nevada assembly so that the Assembly can vote on the amendments made to the bill during its course through the Senate Judiciary Committee and full Senate. If the Assembly is on board with the amendments the bill will move to the governor’s desk. And if it picks up the governor’s signature, Nevada will be the first state to have some form of online gambling.

Granted Washington DC was the first district, but the first state to do so will be a big deal in the online gambling community which has taken a blow with the seizure of thirteen online poker domains. And even if Nevada is the first state to legalize their online poker, they will not put their infrastructure into effect until either the federal government legalizes online gambling or repeals the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). So if it comes out of the governor’s office with a signature it will be a tiny step forward for online gambling, online casinos and especially online poker in the US.
