online poker may be no more

I heard today on the news that as of jan. 19th of 2009 there may not be anymore online poker. Congress passed a bill to take poker it off the internet. They feel it is gambling. So if this is true, pay as much as you can for we may not have it to much longer.

comments please

FYP.

I have every sympathy with the problems of our American members, but let`s remember that CC has an international membership.

What you have is a local difficulty. Even if it is as bad as you say, it`s not by any means the end of the game as far as the world is concerned.
