Legalize It.

This is probably a good sign for online poker in the United States. The national media is starting to chime in on why internet poker should be regulated rather than banned (Los Angeles Times and Washington Post). Evidently, our government is missing out on $43 billion over ten years in revenue that could be generated by taxing online gambling (only $34 billion if you don't include sports betting, but still). It makes too much sense for them to overturn the UIGEA. The people don't like it, the banks don't like it, and now columnists are stepping out to air these sentiments.

Spread the word, kids. Online poker in the U.S. is drawing live.
