Perfect for us!

No way in Hell can the US site moral issues in Russia to back any anti-poker legislation.

Anyone in the US gov who now opposes decent poker legislation, and an opening up of internet poker will wear the stain of 'Commie'.......

I dont think there was ever a remote chance that the us would ban live poker in casinos though.

Although I get ur point, "if the commies banned poker, we sure as hell wont!"

lol :D

Methinks the Kremlin heard of Voronezh Poker's actions and wanted to stop before they ruined the whole nation's image

Bad overall tho, in that they ruled that poker is not a sport (skill) but is gambling -- will have bad repercussions in US and Europe online poker legislation????.

It's unfortunate but it's the truth. Poker is a game of luck with skilled involved and there's no denying it.

Still I don't think any form of gambling should be banned, absolute ridicolous, people should be able to spend their money on whatever they like.

Thats sad. I dont know why some governments try to kill the game and casinos. They can profit from it. For eg. finland has its own room.

WOW. I would assume the ban would include all on-line activities as well.

So, does online poker constitute 'Mayhem, General Mischief or Other Heinious Crimes' in Russia? :p

No, it has to do with casinos and live card rooms. As far as I know there is no policy on Internet yet...
