Default Will New Regulations Make it Harder to Play Online Poker?

Online poker players will soon find it a lot more difficult to get their gambling fix. On Tuesday, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) will go into effect, prohibiting financial institutions from transferring funds to so-called "unlawful Internet gambling" sites. The controversial regulation, which rode through on the coattails of the SAFE Port Act, in 2006, is vaguely worded and puts the onus on banks to recognize where their payments are going.

Well I think it has already shut down some deposit options at some rooms which sucks. A couple weeks ago I could use my Mastercard to deposit and now I can't, same for Doyles and other cake rooms.

So far it has slowed things down, also I cashed out a couple K from stars and the only option was a check.
