When (if) HR 2267 passes, and to me it looks like it will eventually, you will soon find you will probably have little problem finding a site to play on.

However, you will have a host of new problems.

For starters, you will have to pay a fee to deposit.  You will have to pay taxes on withdraws, to be collected by the sites upon withdraw.  Not to mention a few other troubling problems with it, troubling for the individual player mind you.

Not to mention, the House committee added an amendment that says any site that currently allows US players will be barred from being allowed to get a license.  This puts some doubt as to whether or not Full Tilt and Pokerstars will be able to keep allowing US players.

I think it will pass because the bill is estimated to bring in 40 billion in new tax revenues to the central Government over 10 years and an additional 30 billion to State Governments with the deposit fees, over 10 years.  That kind of money will convince many Representatives and Senators to vote for it.

When HR 2267 passes, prepare to bend over, and forget the luxury of vaseline....
