US citizens will still have to pay taxes on poker winnings. The thinking behind it seems to be some sort of unholy combination of christian rightwing anti gambling fervour and protectionism for state run lottery/horseracing which is still legal. Re losing out on winnings, what I meant was they're losing out on tax from online winnings because presumably those that are going to try and play illegally now can't declare their illegal income as taxable. That idiot Bush will still be giving off about "freedoms" in his speeches. What a pillock. The legality of playing hasnt changed, just the legality of depositing. Winnings still have to be declared as before

100% Likely to be signed, was passed unanimously in the senate. Will be signed within two weeks

neTELLER are outside their jurisdiction, though. My information says Party haven't even pulled the plug yet, won't do so unless Bush signs it in. Am I wrong? Thelink I posted earliewr was the Party statement seems pretty cut and dried I think they have made it illegal for US banks to trade with neteller. Basically it is still legal to play or withdraw money, but not to deposit

Pacific (888.com) have also confirmed they wont service US players, I think they were 3rd behind Party and Stars. The legislation has been specificlly drafted to make it illegal to deposit with neteller or other financial institutions that service "the illegal online gaming industry"

Party shares down 57% so far this morning ouch

The big problem is the players who know what they are doing will be able to get round it, but the recreational fish wont. It seems amazing that they can do this, but the cynic in me thinks we will see the big American Casinos being liscenced by the us govt soon. Interseting times ahead I think

When the smb was quality he was one of the best posters on there That is sad news

Shocking news this weekend as America makes online poker illegal Party have already announced banning US players and other main sites expected to follow. The player pool has just diminished by 75% which means the games will get a shit load harder to beat. God Bless America, the land of the free

hope this isnt old

Its like two bald men arguing over a comb

Spice Girls with guitars tbh. Woah there boys, I am not saying it was the best concert I had been to, I was merely correcting the manc mag. Oasis first album was a classic, sadly they quickly disappeared into pub rock boringness very quickly

Oasis at Maine Road. I imagine you'll want to delete your post now tbh. Coldplay were alreet when I saw them too. I wish I'd gone to the one at the COM Stadium last year to be honest, that would have been ace. Nah. Maine Road tbh. At their peak! Surely you mean "well past their peak" 1996 man woman man!!!! Whats the story just released. Home town. Their club. Lots of anti-red jibes. Cant top it. Cant top it - I bet I can. 1994 I think, Definitely Maybe had just come out last gig in uk tour at London Astoria. And went to the end of tour party at the Leisure Lounge afterwards, where I spent half an hour deep in conversation with Noel Gallagher, apparently. Sadly I dont remember that happening as I overindulged somewhat

Boo

Until they fucking get married

Is it real money for SNGs now, spongebob, or just for the ring games? I knew they had an instant play/no download version, but it was either play money or ring games last time I saw it - no tournaments. I'll defo have a look at it though, cheers. You could be right, I saw something on a poker site but didnt look at it in any depth

G-man they have released a Java Mac client for Party Poker now, I can dig the link out if you want it

I dont know which of these proposals is the most laughable, but I think I will go for 2-Legal Drinking age 21, the whole kids on street corners, pissed up fights in pubs thing doesnt really happen in america . because their gun crime and gang culture is something we should really be aspiring to
