Really good post! The video display from Yahoo is clear and easy to navigate, unlike YouTube. Thanks for getting this information into our Forum. Priceless!

Bagger,

No one I know had their money seized. It could be a big loss for some. I posted an update on legislation in the Buzz and Legal sections.

Which poker sites are effected by this, and which payment processors? If the US Goverment would simply move to regulate online poker, we could see a better system for players and poker sites. Instead, the dirty bastards decide to steal funds and force players out. I'm not surprised by the ignorance.

Very interesting...I just cashed out $150 from PS and I got a check in 5 days..superfast..I'm glad mine wasnt seized...I guess PS was not one of the sites it affected.
