Since I am from Canuckland I don't necessarily think it is appropriate that I comment on the Anti-Gaming Legislation, so I am going to link up some of the better pieces of information/commentary I have found around the web. I'm sure Wil will be telling us all what he thinks over the next few days, so until he does take a look at these and leave your comments about the online poker ban. Also, please feel free to send us any more links (your own, or others) that you find relevant to the topic.

1. Why are companies like Party Poker, 888, and BetonSports not pushing their British politicians to open talks with American politicians. If this bill starts getting enforced, they will lose 50% of their revenue.

2. Patty,

My guess is that the Brits along with others are waiting to see the outcome of the WTO action. If Antigua prevails then its much easier for other countrys to pressure the US government. Realisticly this law wont change much right now, it doesn't take effect for 270 days. By December when the WTO issues it's ruling on US compliance, we'll have a new congress which won't have to worry about its re-election chances for another 4 years.
