Little Rant By Internet-Poker.co.uk about the US Poker Ban

Well, I find this unreal, how can people be told what they can and cant do with their own hard earned money in their spare time ?

So its ok to take a drive to your local casino and play poker or have a few friends over to play a few games for money, but its not ok to play online ? . . . . . Why is this, because the US government are not collecting any taxes, like they do from land based casinos, lotteries or horse tracks etc etc.

You wait and see what the USA will do in time, now they try to ban US residents from playing at online poker rooms, then in a few years and some strong lobbying from land based casinos, you will find they will legalise it, BUT only land based casinos or American online poker companies will be allowed to enter the US Poker Sites / Gambling market because the government wont mind as they will be collecting plenty of $$$ from taxes and licenses.

I love America and have many family members living their, but the passing of the "Port Security Act" with online gambling restrictions attatched to it was unbelivable and basically a Two fingures up to the public saying we can pass whatever law we like, even if there wasnt a vote on it or it was what the public wanted.
