Internet Poker is not illegal under federal law, if the state where the player resides does not make it illegal, as contrasted with marijuana which every state makes it illegal. The federal statute says illegal if illegal in the state. Las Vegas would be able to contract with states where internet poker is not illegal without fear of the feds.

but
"Another caveat in the bill bans companies that illegally participated in online gaming between 2006 and 2011 for a period of five years."
I dont think we get Pokerstars any time soon.

great news........

all I can say is merge better start processing those withdrawal requests within 48 hours or they are going out of business. Competition is great for the consumer.

well i hope like hell that ohio does

if you live in vegas WHY the hell would you care if online gambling is legal? UR IN VEGAS!

Looks like it's headed in the right direction

So people in Nevada can play real money on Pokerstars right now? And what do you mean when you say "we'll have tournaments there?"
