So I thought Internt Gambling was gone?

Since that bill has passed NOTHING has chnaged for me, can people chime in on how anything has changed for them?

OR was this all just a case of media hyperbole and pretty much a phantom bill that passed?

It was the collective panic of the whole that made people think that.

People really do believe the gov can just press a buttton and stop things cold.

I rarely use Neteller. Usually fund a book using my bank card and the funds were in my account immediately. Now I have to use Neteller which takes 3-4 days to reload or withdraw funds.

I can't play on Partypoker anymore, so nowhere even close to business as usual for me.

Almost no casinos left to whore bonus's... has cost me a lot of money, especially when you consider some were monthlies.

t-square...you bring up an interesting point...that of bad beats which have been a main stay here at the RX...I would think that with the fallout of the gambling bill and players having to "bunch" into smaller sites...compared to PP...might there be a change in the way poker software delivers hands to players...less bad river beats...more bad river beats...the pocket AA thing we have all seen here...anyway...one would think that these smaller...private sites would adjust to the changing environment of online poker...and this would be a great time to study the online game and...if or not...software does favor certain situations for the benefit of the site such as rake etc...thus a proving ground for the online industry of poker and the cheat or not cheat theory that floats around so often...

the only that's changed for me is that I can no longer bet at bet365 and can't use firepay as my source of funds. In conclusion, everything is still the same and I'm just taking it day by day.

Guys,

No rules have been in place yet - remember they have 270 days to make all the rules and regulations. Once they do, then yes things will change, and thats when we will have to figure out what to do to get around the changes.

As of now everything runs like normal because no rules and regulations are set.
