A heads-up to all online poker players in the USA - the Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its promise to challenge New Hampshire’s Wire Act ruling by filing an official appeal. Although the DOJ’s move was expected, it brings with it an air of uncertainty for the US online gaming industry.

Sword of Damocles Hangs Over US Gaming as DOJ Files Wire Act Appeal

As a european I cant help to shake my head over this whole saga. Does the US government not have better things to do than prevent its adult citizens from playing online poker? But I guess, its not to surpricing in a country, which gave us probition, and where even today you need to be 21 years old to buy a bottle of wine in the convenience store.

I feel sad for my fellow american poker players, and what suck even more is, that even if it is eventually solved, they will likely still not be allowed to play against the rest of us

Would love to add my 2 sarcastic cents to this but wont. It used to set me off this type of news but at this point I am resigned to what will happen. Its truly sad how one man with so much money can control enough people in the government to do this. I think I better stop hear before i set my self off on a rant.
