Bush blindly signs Port Security act to ban online gambling

Ina classic move Bush signed the Port security bill today Oct 13th enforcing the anti gambling act of 2006 into law. Although he spoke about the port bill in depth and how its to protect America from terrorists he failed to mention at all the terrorist sitting in congress paid to restrict your rights further.

This does not make gambling online illegal for you the player but will put pressure on stopping transactions and also is causing casinos to restrict US players access.

Its never to late to fight. Vote these guys out when you get the chance and call them on it.

Not even a single debate over this addition to the Ports bill is a disgrace to the Americans who expect at least a small amount of representation.

yes, I am editing the db to show the different statuses of each casino.

In a quick list.

Microgaming is still serving the US, excluding 11 states.
Lots of Plytech casinos will not allow any US players including iGaming poker (CD, Titan, Fair poker...)

RTG casinos are all good !

hopefully by the weekend ill have a status on all
