Coming on the heels of the DC announcement, is this the end of online gaming or the dawning of a new era? http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/15/us-poker-fraud-idUSTRE73E6SF20110415 |

According to a source, Tzvetkoff "knows how to reverse-engineer transactions to determine its original source," making him very valuable to investigators. |

Will there be fall-out on the sports books? Will you continue to make electronic transfers of money to/from your accounts? Any chance that the players may become targets since it would seem simple enough to track all of the money transfers? Bottom line, is it safe to use these books? I get that it's not legal, but has this increased the risk to a point to where it's not worth it? |

Agree, actually took out a big chunk right after the NCAA tourney, left $100 in the account....and bet it on some long term Pujols HR wagers, printed it out...and closed the account on Bodog. The only difference is bodog uses foreign banks to process payments, thats what made these poker sites so foolish., |

Matchbook already shut down to US Customers, and I assume others will follow. I can't get my money out of FullTilt and PokerStars. They say that my money is safe, but I have no reason to believe that. |

I can legally and easily bet on horse racing online in about 5 minutes but online poker is the devil. |
