This is a snippet from the Bodog email, I am sure some of you have got it too:
Over the years we were able to keep our deposit and withdrawal transaction costs extremely low and pass the savings on to our players in the form of reload bonuses. The unfortunate events of last week mean those low-cost providers have left the US market and the options that remain are expensive, labor intensive or both. It was a very tough decision to make, but rather than pass on the higher fees to our players, we have decided to remove reload bonuses while continuing to offer free deposits and withdrawals.
Now, think about what they will cut off if they had to pay tax? :terms:
And another thing – take Party Poker, for example. They are licensed in the UK, but if they want to do business in the USA they will have to get a USA license. Now – do they want to do biz in the US? Hell yeah. But do they want to loose their UK license, considering the wishy-washy US government? No. So they would have to pay double now…
