[QUOTE="Tyranthraxus, post: 5534911, member: 13335"] People are surprised? It was[SIZE="3"] illegal[/SIZE] to play online poker in the US. That means you dont do it. These sites can still operate however OUTSIDE of the US, and I believe still are. However people going to the sites are met with the FBI page and a lot of international players quickly got their money out, others who were slower could not. Most of this comes down to an Australian businessman who blew the lid on these sites because he had one himself until he got caught out. So he turned 'grass'. The main issue in Aus is that its 'untraceable' income. That is , the government would find it very hard to track where it has come from without expending more resources than it wants to. There are several players in Australia who are making multi million dollars and paying no tax at all on it. Thats just wrong. I think in terms of the US component is primarily a tax issue also.
