Let's contemplate for a moment the impact that "poker prohibition" has had hence far. The purpose of the UIGEA and the US Department of Justice was to cut off the flow of funds to gambling internet sites, and hopefully bully the US facing internet sites into closing their doors to US buyers. Let's grade them.
1. Cut off funds to on-line poker websites. Total failure. Just a handful of days ago I was capable to develop an Epassporte account, deposit to it with my bank issued Visa Debit card, and have funds on Absolute Poker within about 15 minutes after beginning the whole procedure.
two. Bully US facing poker internet sites into closing their doors to US players. I'd have to give them a "D" here for beneath average. They got Celebration Poker to close and a handful of smaller sized web sites. The reality that Poker Stars, Complete Tilt, Absolute, Ultimate Bet, Bodog and other people remain open to US players, is concrete evidence that legal concerns facing on the internet poker have not had the preferred effect.
So what has the ban accomplished?
1. They created it challenging for us to get our winnings in our pockets. You cannot pay taxes on my if you cannot get them to your bank.
2 They caused the most respected and dependable e-wallet, Neteller, to shut down it is US operations, thereby providing room for scam operations to pop up. Wonderful.
The vast majority of US citizens believe that on-line poker really should not be banned. I guess government by the people and for the individuals is an outdated slogan. If you happen to be a citizen right here and want to get your online poker fix, there are still plenty of Poker Sites that accept US players and Casino Sites that accept US players. As noted above, if you're hunting for a method to get cash to a poker site, Epassporte looks to be a good option at least for funding your account. Withdrawal times are a bit slow, but I suspect if they continue to operate with the USA clients, this e-wallet will become considerably much more effective.
