I was listening to the radio and they were talking about the senate voting on a law where e-checks and credit card bets wouldnt be honored (or atlast enforced)… anyone else hear about this?

BTW… just a small rant… I cant stand the fucking assclowns on online poker sites that jump in a single table tourny and sit out the whole f’n game to make it to the final 3 so they’re guarenteed a payout… chaps my ass. They should implement something where they can be voted off the table. (granted they never win first, but usually get 3rd)

it’s just for processors based in the US…you can still route money from your US bank account into poker rooms using off-shore companies…which most of the online poker sites use.

I’m suprised more drug money doesn’t get passed through online poker sites…I mean, they take a 3% rake, give 10% bonus and don’t file w/ the IRS…

also in the bill - law enforcement can now work with internet providers to block access to gambling sites and payment processing sites. very wee-todd-did.

I’m suprised super hackers can’t get into the room and see what everyone has and tell a friend in the room.Or maybe they can

Information isn’t sent to the client computer until the cards are shown. And I suppose you could try to crack the outside noise RNG, but that’s pretty much impossible

The best way to cheat is to have 3 or 4 friends in a 6 handed $20/40 type game where you can crush the other 2 players for a couple grand a night.
