Calvin Ayre's Prediction for online poker regulation in the US
Hi everyone,
Calvin asked me to share his prediction on what will happen with online poker regulation in the US with all those who may be interested. Thought you may want to hear what he has to say...I will tell you one thing, considering I've known him well for five years, he's usually right.  Regulated Online Poker in the U.S. is Wishful Thinking Becky |

Thanks for sharing BoDogBecky. Calvin Ayre is a very astute businessman; I agree that it will take some time for the Feds to implement some sort of regulatory agency to 'oversee' the industry & they will need to tread lightly considering all the recent Wall Street havoc. IMHO, the only reason implementation would arise any sooner than the 5-10 yr prediction is the yahoos who see the industry as a source of tax revenue.

Very Accurate
Have to agree entirely. If they were ever to allow online gambling, it probably would be limited to individual states.
Also, the room would need to be licensed in the USA, (if they licensed rooms in Costa Rico, how would they enforce regulations, to say nothing of collecting fees or taxes from the poker room. The benefit of continuing to try to get licensed; it could slow them down in an attempt to seek a ban of some sort. When your on defense, its a lot harder to score. |

I can see it happening. What would be really interesting is to read the Bill and see the pork attached of who is getting stroked. Those law making guys are dreaming with visions of $$$$ just floating by. Might just fund your health care.

Thank you Becky for the link.
Perhaps all the PPA should be focusing on is how we Americans can fund our accounts. The UIGEA only dealt with that, and it caused the problems we face now. A super sweeping gaming bill will get tied up in committee for about 10 years. |
