I think it only effects payments from your bank/credit cards directly to online poker/sports betting sites.
Regardless, it will be 9 months (270 days) until we know the full fall out from the bill

888/Pacific Poker drops US Players - MSN Article Link
Then on the flip side of Pacific Poker
From WSEX (found this on 2+2):
Hi xxxx,
We have absolutely no plans whatsoever of dropping any players.
In short, it will be business as usual. WSEX.com and all its sister companies are legal and licensed businesses regulated by the Gaming Commission of Antigua and Barbuda. We are wholly located in Antigua and do no business or run any part of our operation on US soil.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has recognized the right of Antiguan companies to be in this business and has instructed the United States to stop trying to block US residents from playing at Antiguan operations.
Nothing in the bill criminalizes placing a bet or sending money to or receiving money from an offshore gambling business.
We strongly suggest that our players/bettors get set up with alternative payment systems (such as Neteller and First Pay).
Thanks for your enquiry xxxx.
WSEX is here to stay.
Best regards,
Byron

There is hope! It appears that outlawing online gambling violates the US agreements with the WTO. We better get a Democrat in office soon.
