I can't believe they don't tax it either. This is a HUGE industry (billions of dollars).

We were hoping to branch out to the EU (Britain and Italy in particular) where gaming is embraced and taxed, but had no plans to do that until late next year. Looks like we really have to make a strong push for that.

As far as third party e-wallets go: yeah, we're well aware of them. NETeller makes up about 70% of our overall sales.

What we're looking at now is, will NETeller stick around, and how will the legislation work for/against them.

Looking at some of the bigger site 888.com and Party, looks like they REALLY jumped the gun and begun banning all US customers.

We don't fall within the sportsbook or poker realm, but we're still waiting on our lawyers to see if we're going to have to do that or not.

I certainly hope not.
