    Thumbs down It's been 1 year today since "the bill" was signed

    This day will be etched in my memory like most people have pearl harbor etched in there minds.

    On October 13, 2006 the port bill was signed by dictator George Bush.

    I for one will never forget the sneaky underhanded way that those republicans got this bill passed. It was on a Friday night after all the opposer's of that bill went home for the weekend.


    A lot of Sportsbooks and online poker sites left the U.S. market. The DOJ arrests the Neteller Co-founders, and other processors stop accepting U.S. players transactions, and the list goes on and on.

    Even despite this bill passing most of us U.S. found a way to get our funds to and from those remaining books out there that still accept U.S. clients, however it's like jumping through hoops.


    I think we all pretty much know how it was from the players standpoint, but I sure like to know how the past year went from a books standpoint in regards to loss of revenue. Like the cost of operation via the money transfers, the troubles of acquiring alternate processing options, ect, ect.
