Legislation Sweat
Posted in Poker | View Comments (7)
 

Shit is getting real with the possibility of regulated online poker. The current plan is to attach it to something that has to pass (tax cuts in the upcoming days). Main problems at this point are a 15 month blackout period where sites who want to become regulated (read: PS/FT) will be forced to stop servicing US players within 30 days. If that happens I will likely be going on a vacation to Canada in the very near future.

Supposedly the PPA is working hard to get that 15 month blackout reduced/eliminated.

I'm a huge pessimist and basically fear they're going to fuck up online poker if they pass this legislation. Rake, ********, deposit limits, # of tables, # of sites, competition between sites (promotions for players) are all questions that we can't answer. I hate uncertainty.

As a pro, you need to be investigating your options at the moment IMO.

the 15 month blackout period was written but is being pressed against based on the fact that the PPA is saying it forces players to play on sites that are illegally bypassing the blackout period, so it could be shortened.

Be cautiously optomistic
