Within roughly the last month, the two biggest online sites have pulled out of the state of Washington. This comes as a result of the 2006 law passed by Gov. Christine Gregoire which made online gambling a felony. Not much seemed to happen since then as it seemed mostly to be business as usual, and they made it a point to say that there was never the intention to prosecute individual players as a result of this law.
Then recently, a WA lawyer named Lee Rousso took this law to court to try and get it overturned. He lost, and soon after that, the big dogs (Stars and Tilt) decided, understandably, that it was now in their best interest to stop serving WA customers until things change.
The really unfortunate part of all this is that this was the year that Rahul and I were supposed to go #1 and #2 in the WSOP Main Event, as per our 5 year plan/pact made... well, 5 years ago. I don't really see how I'm even going to get to the WSOP this year, now.
One piece of bright news though is that I found that I still have $4.78 on another site, Bodog!! I ran up 75 cents to $600 on Stars before... IT'S GO-TIME AGAIN. well... I just started a session, and I'm down to $2.28 right now. lol.
