Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA)

Enforcement of UIGEA will officially begin on Tuesday 6/1/2010, & will carry a wide range of speculation throughout the online poker community; this speculation will range from having no major impact on most players to complete lockdown of all U.S. accounts. This act does not make online poker illegal or playing poker an illegal activity, yet is it designed to block transfers from US financial institutions to offshore gaming websites. This is just another way in which big government attempts to micromanage our daily lives.
