Please keep us posted.

Jesus...... What a mess.

I just hope there isnt some witch hunt for people who placed bets and this is all just a way to scare and pressure banks.

Many people had no idea placing bets online was illegal.. The advertisments you see everywhere, TV, magazines, trade shows, hell even billboards and radio, how could someone with an intrest in poker or sports wagering not get involved.. Myself included.

I didnt realize how serious this issue was until Bank of America shut down my accounts and gave me that lecture about sports wagering..

Im sure till this day the majority of Americans who enjoy sports and poker lesiure wagering have no idea of these new laws..

What a mess. I wonder if the big betters are looking to get into some trouble. Or if the banks that supported them is what is getting pressured here.

What does all this mean? Other than to stop gambling of course.
