Players advocating regulation may be shortsighted, but one of desperation after said federal government has effectively barred them from playing.

It should be legalized but not controlled or ran by states — the idea is absurd. Just get out of the way and let markets and people decide for themselves.

It’s issues like this that, if the GOP were truly the party of liberty, would side with those who want to gamble/play poker online.

Compliance is too complicated / expensive for small marginal operators to swallow.
