American Gaming Association Casts Doubt over Online Poker Exemption

Many online poker players and industry members are holding out hope for some kind of exemption for online poker from the the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), but president of the American Gaming Association Frank Fahrenkopf doesn't think that there is "a chance in hell." The head of the Poker Players Association recently met with officials in Key West, Florida with optimistic vibes, but Fahrenkopf believes that even if there is the technology available to regulate online poker, State taxes levied would make it unprofitable.
