Online Poker Pro Players Worry About Law

By launchpoker, Jul 25, 2006

While the anti online poker bill sits in the Senate chambers, already having passed through the House of Representatives, the faceless crowd of online poker players worry about what might come to pass. For many, who now make a living playing poker online, it could mean the end of an income and the start of a tough row to hoe. The law, which if passed would make it illegal to use credit cards to fund online poker rooms, and otherwise interfere with American's ability to play poker for money online, may not pass as previous incarnations have not. With the voices of the Poker Players Alliance and other organizations sounding out in Washington, this bill, too, may die a quiet death. If not, however, it could mean a lot of adjusting for online poker pro players.
