This would be great if it passes.....this would open so many doors, and I would imagine that many other states would follow suit.....we can only hope!!!

That's a good deal beaston, thank you for this worthy post.

It looks like they are trying for the longest title for a bill.

I sure hope it passes as the first step towards leagal online poker play and gambling.

As being a free America I don't feel all that free anymore, when lawmakers can just step in at any time and pass a law for whatever they feel will harm Americans.

I think that's why we are suppose to have a voting system, so Americans can vote on these new bills that affect us.
It looks like the lawmakers all but took out our freedom to vote.

What I like about their approach is that they're only going to legalize online poker within state lines, and only allow licensed casinos/card rooms within the state to run online sites. This way the player is protected, and will NEVER have to worry about getting paid.

This also means that "Big Brother" will NEVER be able to stick their nose in it, seeing as how it's a STATE law, and has nothing to do with the Feds.

This is exactly the reason they put a provision in the bill that will guarantee 100% compliance with the UIGEA (until it's overturned, that is )


Remember the old EF Hutton Commercials? California is the same way...when they talk, everyone listens. California has always been a pioneer for new things, and once they get this passed, I could almost guarantee that many other states will follow suit once they see that it's profitable for them to do so.

I think CA is always in debt. and they need a bailout.

This is a step in the right direction, and gives Americans a bit of their freedom back after congress decides to snatch it away for some kind of power play.
