I'd have to disagree on that. Casinos are not losing players as there are still the many who prefer live play than playing behind a screen. They feel that it is a more real chance of playing legit poker to get the most out of yourself and another. Also how many times does a person go to the casino and have to end up writing their name on the boards to reserve a seat for the holdem tables? Basically everytime so the casinos are not losing out on active live players. It is definitely because the government does not want to see citizens making a lot of money and not paying taxes for it. Either way if they were to ban online poker or make poker players pay taxes for large sums of winnings. The poker world would definitely be upset either way. |
