Treasury Regulations Now Final

Compliance with the rule is required by December 1, 2009.

http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsev...20081112a1.pdf

Treasury regulations pushed by the Republicans, including Kyl, Goodlate, Witcherman, and Leach were finalized today. Druff once doubted this would happen as he seemed to think that the Republicans had better things to worry about and that the banks (who are mostly against this law) were too "powerful" to allow this regulation to become law.

From initial reading it looks like depositing to any poker, sports betting, or online casino, ect, from the US is going to near impossible using any method after December 2009. The good news is I don't see anything that prohibits "cash outs", I need to keep looking.

Any lawyers here want to look this over and give an oppnion.

One chance for this to still get defeated is the following:

However, the Congressional Review Act has this clause:

"...any regulation finalized within 60 days of congressional adjournment — Oct. 3, in this case — is considered to have been legally finalized on Jan. 15, 2009. The new Congress then has 60 days to review it and reverse it with a joint resolution that can’t be filibustered in the Senate."

As Politco sums up:

"In other words, any regulation finalized in the last half-year of the Bush administration could be wiped out with a simple party-line vote in the Democrat-controlled Congress."


If the Dems can overturn this will Druff at least admit that Republicans have done almost nothing right the last 8 years (by the wayDruff I am your age and have voted Republican in the past and liked/respected Reagan as well, but you have to admit that GW Bush has been an absolute nightmare in everything he has touched).

Treasury Finalized UIGEA Regulations

Saw this on 2+2 and thought it should be posted here as well:

Here's the PPA alert, to be sent to the entire membership tomorrow morning:


Just one week after a historic election the Poker Players Alliance is pitted in a fight to keep anti-Internet poker regulations from being enacted and we NEED YOUR HELP!

The current Administration is hastily finalizing a number of “midnight rules” before they leave office and the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is on the list. See the 11/06 story in Dow Jones.

Just like UIGEA was snuck into legislation in the dark of night in 2006, our opponents are again trying an 11th hour sneak job. We need you to help us expose and stop this reckless rulemaking.

Please call the U.S. Federal Reserve and tell them not to approve the UIGEA regulations -- Consumer Complaints, 888-851-1920 or Public Affairs, 202-452-2955.

Tell them:

* The federal agencies responsible for our nation’s economy should not be focused on Internet poker regulations.
* Finalization of the UIGEA rules will add additional burdens on our already crippled financial systems.
* Internet poker is a game of skill and form of recreation for millions of Americans; it should be exempted from the UIGEA.
* Please do not finalize the UIGEA regulations until their impact on our banking systems and average Americans has been fully studied.

Your call will make a huge difference and will add the public’s voice to these last minute policy decisions our government is poised to make. We can’t stand idly by while they make decisions that will impact our right to play America’s card game. PLEASE CALL TODAY!
