They will as soon as the poker sites show how much money USA players win and lose so taxes are paid.

just baffling how all these fantasy league betting sites are able to advertise and go big time. It seems poker would be a no brainer at this point but as someone said a long time ago The original Online ambassadors didnt grease enough hands in the US or figured they didnt need too. Poker player still feeling the pain and I wonder if the boom just started happening in the 2010's, online poker in the US would include all states. But I dont even hear any talk about poker anymore. A few states have it and most people arent too happy with it so... here we are almost a decade after black friday or whatever day was 4/15/2011

Would be great to add 300 million potential online poker players, but I do not think the USA is ready for online poker.

Won't happen unless PACs are formed by gaming sites and pay tens of millions of $s to bribe members of our corrupt congress.

The consensus on twoplustwo at the time was if we voted for Obama he would legalize online poker. Fat chance, he and Eric Holder gave us "Black Friday".

The Lottery is becoming more acceptable in more states. Sports betting is now legal in Mississippi casinos

Maybe there is hope.:call:I sent a message to our Governor no response,

I really don’t understand why the US cant play online poker. Should be political lobby. I used to play wsop
on Vegas, but Vegas has its own rules.

I waited over 9 years to get back to playing large field tournaments versus the rest of the world. I don't think it will ever happen and have moved on and only play for fun now.

Politicians only help the 'people' who support them - as long as money is considered free speech and corporations are considered people, that is how it will remain.

Good riddance, too much luck in poker to play it for any real money anyway.

Reminds me of an old Beach Boys song. "Wouldn't it be nice?" I for one would just
love it. I remember Black Friday, April 15th 2011 well. Living in the USA, it was
very unsettling to get an FBI screen instead of a log in screen that morning.
Bring online back in the USA please.:):):):):)

I think not. Because they need to maintain tourism in Vegas casinos and so many others in the USA.

The USA is like Russia. Personal freedoms don't matter.
There is no show of online poker when there is enough "God fearing" people in that country to believe and elect the current leader.
