stupid internet gambling bill

just curious.......how many of you peeps are still withdrawing and depositing funds into offshore accounts since the bill was passed.......and one last thing, someone explain to me the 270 days for the prohibition of this bill...my perspective is it is still legal until the 270 days come and they make the final rules of this mess...

Business as usual. Soon may need to use Fedex again like the old days (yes, I was using offshore books before the Internet) - but thats no big deal.

No problems for me. kept the same sportsbook outs, had to move from party poker to Poker Stars (glad I did), But no problems as far as getting paid, haven had to deposit since bill passed, but I am sure It will be no problems.

I noticed that all 3 of my sports books (I really only use one) added a 20-30$ withdraw fee that didn't exist before. I used to be able to request a paper check by mail for free. They covered their asses in case all their clients bailed out after the bill was signed. Kind of sucks beause they are making money hand over fist anyway.
