Which legislation? Goodlatte’s?

Different versions out there and it makes quite a difference. The effect would also depend on any alterations, and there would be quite a few before this could pass at all.

I think the question is way too general…

But it’s supposed to be general :hehe:

This poll is a complement to the other poll we’re running at the same time. They go together…

1) Will anything get through?

2) What will happen if/when it does?

Thank god i’m in the Uk, the US can’t stop affiliate in other countries so the effects will only be felt by US affiliates.

Well, yes and no…

If you have players which are from the US my guess is you certainly would feel this… especially in its latest form.

The blocking of gambling domains at the ISP level will certainly hurt everyone around the world who is an affiliate to this industry, unless of course you are only regionally focused. Something like 80% of the revenue comes from US players (don’t quote me on that though, it’s late and that’s the number that poped up in my head).

it’s not quite that high, but it’s not far off.

Scary stuff though.

I’m thinking there would be another Prohibition. People who live in the US do not want their freedoms taken away.

Didnt they try to do something similar with Internet porn years ago? That never amde any headway–thank goodness!!! LOL!!
