What do you guys think of the UIGEA? (Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act)

I think its a crock of bulls***. As soon as this was announced nationally over the US, I knew it was going to be a sucky situation. Now, on Jokerstars (pokerstars), you still have no problems getting money on there, they will just use a third party to take it out of your account no problem. EVERY OTHER SITE you have to go through a bunch of bullcrap to get money put on. I dont know why our government (mainly Republicans because they had the house and senate majority and president,) wants this done. We are missing out on SOOOOOOOOO much taxable money it is rediculous. I have been reading up on it some, and there are people seriously trying to get that law revoked. It is just hard for our Government to tax it because we deal with international sites, as well as other complications.

I think any internet gaming enforcement is a crock. I don't know why these gaming acts are so big for the government. It seems its becoming more difficult to bet and get money to the sites online these days.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Pokerstars is the only somewhat easy one because they offer echeck where you give them your bank information and they withdraw it using a third party affiliation so as not to draw any attention. Its pretty dumb in my opinion because its not really stopping people from playing. Its just making it harder.
