In a nutshell we have this:
MGs blocking NEW US players
And this:
UIGEA Regulations have been rushed thru and finalized
************
I'm full of questions. Now, what are we going to do? (Yes, I've already written letters and emails and made phone calls to my government reps who couldn't give a rats ass.) Even though I rarely play anymore, I am sorely pissed off that I am being relieved of the CHOICE as to whether I gamble online or not.
I've got a couple hundred in QT I could get out (but it will cost me $50 to do so). Do I leave it and hope we'll be allowed to play a bit longer? How much longer? And if we ARE allowed to play for awhile, how will we get our money out? How much longer can we count on our NETSpend cards working to make deposits at casinos? If QT doesn't dump us immediately, will they too block us in the near future? (flashbacks to the NETeller fiasco)
Open for discussion. I want to hear members' viewpoints on this... Am I overreacting? Is our current situation not as bad as it seems? Nothing to get worked up about? (except for our stupid government and DOJfux)
MGs blocking NEW US players
At this time it LOOKS LIKE all micros will stop accepting new US players starting Monday or a little later.
LOOKS LIKE.
There will be more info tomorrow.
So far, existing players are still welcome and no sudden blocking is planned, but it is said that eventually most MGS casinos will not be allowing any US players.
And this:
UIGEA Regulations have been rushed thru and finalized
Achieving wide coverage across the stock markets and business sites as the week ended was a Dow Jones business report that the controversial regulations supporting the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act have been finalised. The news comes after widespread political and financial services criticism that the initial draft of the regulations lacked practicality and precision.
....
The Treasury Department forwarded the final regulations to the Office of Management and Budget on October 21, a necessary step towards implementation. The report describes the move as standard practice for outgoing administrations to finalise controversial regulations before leaving office, a practice known as a midnight drop.
