Mastercard Stopping Transactions to Online Gaming

Online players will find that gaming sites are working hard to give their clients other payment options as well, so I would advise players to check and see what all the options are in the cashier at the sites you play at. This has happened to American players in the past with options like netteller and e-passporte, so it's nothing that we can not find our way around with a little effort.

I still encourage all readers that are from the United States to keep fighting for our rights to fund online gaming by writing their Congress and voicing your opinions to them.

It just does not make any sense what so ever that buying online porn is legal , yet funding a game of online poker or a game of blackjack is not.

One way for online poker players to fight back is by joining the Poker Players Alliance. I would even go so far as to say that all online gamers should join them, for they and their membership are fighting for all of our rights as free American citizens .

WOW! This is huge news and did I mention BAD! It just gets worse for online poker...
Don't try to understand it (porn vs gambling). Hopefully the US government will take their heads out of their butts soon and legalize it. Millions of potential tax dollars going to waste. MILLIONS!
You are so right Stephen. Some studies have even showed that taxes raised from regulation would exceed 4 billion dollars a year.
