| it was coming after mastercard decided to block americans, surely their opponent won't want pressure from the government agencies. but its bad news for us players as time goes by their options are decreasing and it doesn't look good for future too

If the US of A is sucessfull in stopping their people to play online, other countrys will follow this direction soon. |
Hope Portugal doesn´t follow the same rules

| Canadian Visa and Mastercard are usually governed by US regulations so it very probable that most of us are blocked with that payment option as well. Effin American bullheaded tactics.

| Hmm, it may be will scare only new poker players from USA the players that have money only plaing poker online will find a way to make and withdrow money from poker rooms in theier pokets. At least a know 1 way for me, but it takes more fess and I doubt that my country will block play poker soon.

| Many poker players hoped that Obama administration would be better for poker freedom but at least so far nothing much has happened in that respect. Politicians everywhere should understand that online poker is a good hobby for many people and a profession for some and we need reliable legal poker sites with large player pools. As in any line of business, competition is important, too.

Hello everybody!
It is still disturbing everything. Many government will probably imitate the American model as with many things. I fear that in France the law becomes too onerous, and we can only play between French.
See you soon for new posts! lol

| Will this act also be implented to other countries? If it is so, then it shall be bad for pokersites around the world.

| darthtony | 03/03/2010 23:54:46 GMT |
What's the problem ? a moneybookers account and that's it ! they put money on moneybookers and then they will put them on the poker rooms !
i think that it's allways an escape !

Glad to be Canadian! 
A lot of people are probably not going to agree what with I say, but it is actually a good thing that they are putting the ban on the visa / mc. Its not allowing people to spend money that they DON'T have. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are losing their houses, possesions to online gambling. I am not totally sure that this is the reason why they are doing this, but it is a very good possibility

| Spookye | 04/03/2010 10:46:37 GMT |
 visa electron will work , anyway you can make a moneybookers acount your transfer will take a minute longer
|
| Flippedchips | 04/03/2010 11:07:31 GMT |
| HAHA the free world of a america u cant do shit!
|
| LaBaiz | 04/03/2010 12:41:56 GMT |
eh, seems like it is good to be not american after all,  But I think that players will find other ways to transfer their money to gambling sites. And moneybookers seems to be the best way now.
|
| xxxbchxxx | 04/03/2010 17:06:14 GMT |
What why would they do thiss? surely thats gonna take a chunk out of there operating income!
They'll have less throu-put and revenue.
Qhy would they just jump on the band waggon? Americans are getting screwed to the wall over internet gambleing for sure.
Im just glad i live in the UK hahaha its a nanny state but they dont mess with the essentials....lol poker and sex....oh yeah bad boy';./'][;./

| Alelkz16 | 04/03/2010 23:08:27 GMT |
OH NO!!!! NOW WHAT ARE U AMERICANS GONNA DO?
NeTeller.
Entropay.
Webmoney.
ClickandBuy.
Click2pay...
(i think this all are good options to move the bankrol from one site to another)

| Biggest hit to online poker sites and online casinos. Its a great opportunity for sites like paypall and moneybookers to make some extra cash. Visa and mastercard won't lose nothing because the anline paying sistems like PP and MB cash in thru them

| preedator76 | 06/03/2010 17:32:27 GMT |

Very true.
Also typical of usa. Anyone can go and gamble, lose it all, in Las Vagas, reno etc.
And yet they make a big show of stopping online gambling.
Truèe, it reaches more people, but still...THE gambling country of the world if there is one....
Political Bullshit, as usual... looks good to the voters.

| I hope this doesn't affect people in the way of bringing small pokersites down to the ground.
