If you haven’t yet read the newest article on gaming law on Card Player you should probably do so. It is not illegal to play poker online, the only thing it does is make it harder to get money onto online gaming sites.
I personally have seen the games become a bit tougher after the legislation was first presented. I think many recreational players probably got scared by the new “law” that it would somehow get the government mad at them or something.
But things seem to be looking pretty good lately, the games are still growing and new players seem to be finding their way back to the online card rooms. I’ve always been on the positive side of things, I hope the Poker Players Alliance will get the whole online gaming legalized in the US because it is just weird to keep sportsbetting legal and not like poker.
I guess that happens when the government can’t make money on poker, I mean, you need to fund the government so it can take over more stuff right?
