    On-line gambling and poker sites generally operate outside of US jurisdiction and are therefore can’t be directly regulated by the US government. The bill you refer to addresses how on-line gambling sites get funded by prohibiting US financial institutions from processing transactions for gambling sites (lotteries and horse racing were excluded).

    You don’t have to worry about a swat team breaking down your door and dragging you off to prison if you continue to play. On-line gaming is a multi-billion dollar a year business with the US being the largest consumer by far. Rest assured that the big sites like Full Tilt and Ultimate Bet have an army of lawyers working either to alter the bill or find away around it. Even the sites that have stopped accepting US players, I’m sure, are working behind the scenes to set things right. So my advice is to keep playing and to support the sites that have taken a stand against this ridiculous legislation.

    There is little change to the way things are. You can still play a 80% of the sites including big ones like Full Tilt and Poker Stars.

    Just make sure you have a Neteller account so you can continue to deposit and cash out.

    These sites will still be available by moving the servers to other countries around the world. The web addresses will still be the same and you wont know if the server your playing on is in the US or not.

    You won’t be able to play on Party or Pacific and a couple others. http://newpokerlistings.com/ has a full list of what sites are allowing US players and which are banning them. For the most part you should have no trouble finding a game.

    I’ve done a full article reviewing the details of the so-called “Internet Gambling Ban”. The page includes a link to all sites allowing American players.
