Someone is getting rich from this misery for sure. So many players without a place to play would sure be an useful traffic to the new online room that Uncle Sam will introduce.
If it’s not online, as J. Todd said, it will be Las Vegas that gets all of the incoming poker traffic.
I think while this is specifically related to poker, the bigger picture and question is this. Is it worth promoting any program that accepts US players? What happens if one day the FBI decides to close down top 3 casinos that accept US players, and then the top 3 sportsbooks, etc etc, those are of course just speculations and guessing.
