Also the Poker Player Alliance has been doing it's own congressional door to door campaign to get the UIGEA reversed and cautious optimism is building momentum.
If you don't believe me, well my imaginary friend, Count G. Stein reports over hearing the Robinhood of Poker, Barry Greenstein say,
"I'm sure it will be less than 6 months before Congress realizes that they need to pass legislation contrary to the UIEGA. If it hasn't already happened, it will happen in a few weeks. I don't know how slow the process is and how much debate there will be as to whether there is a different approach that should be taken than the Frank and Wexler bills."
I am not trying to get folks too excited but those of you with poker based businesses may need to brush the dust off those US marketing plans! And poker players can prepare for great bonus deals and freerolls from the returning online poker sites. Furthermore, sites like Rounder Auction can expect increased referral income which translates into more up and coming poker players getting major poker sponsorship deals from their site.
Yes, 2008 is going to be a good year!
