 Re: What's the thought on the new Barney Frank bill? hey phiz... well I don't think that anything has actually passed into law as of yet, however I do think that there is an immense amount of hope now for the industry to prosper indefinitely in the United States.
I also found this on Reuters which may shed some light on where things stand:

Re: What's the thought on the new Barney Frank bill? It's believed that this bill will set the way for the future of online gambling within the United States.
It's interesting actually because Harrah's which I beleive was initially lobbying for the prohibition of online gambling has now had a change of heart ans is lobbying for the regulation of online gambling.
An article on this subject can be found here:

Re: What's the thought on the new Barney Frank bill? Hey there... thanks for the tips on the two articles. I have some interest in this subject and found the article on the GPWA website rather handy and informative!

Re: What's the thought on the new Barney Frank bill? Should this progress to a full on regulation it will be very interesting to see Harrah's and other major gaming providers operating online. You can only imagine what the gaming experience is like. Additionally there's no doubt that they'll be doing things like integrate player loyalty rewards online and offline so that you can use your loyalty rewards that you accumulate to collect comps while in and a land based establishment... will be very exciting. Will be interesting to see what happens with all this should regulation take place in the next few years. If anything does happen I doubt it will happen very fast... likely at least a few years before we'd start seeing any of the big gaming groups coming out with an online presence.

Re: What's the thought on the new Barney Frank bill? I read this on that site and I want one lol Quote: Do you think there will be a bumper sticker that says: “They can have my straight flush when they pry it from my cold dead hand?”

Re: What's the thought on the new Barney Frank bill? The banks in Britain aren't too happy about gambling and often decline transactions but luckily they haven't illegalized it...yet.

Re: What's the thought on the new Barney Frank bill? I think it's kind of irrelevant though that the banks in "Britain" aren't too happy about it as they aren't really involved in the issues pertaining the UIGEA and US online gambling. Sure they have their own issues in the UK and in Europe that they have to deal with though but I think that the two are loosely tied and somewhat unrelated.
