I am sure there will be some work arounds or sites that still accept US customers for the next 270 days, but after that we may be doomed. :(

It looks like the party might be over (sorry for the cliche)
Link to Party's statement on the bill.
----------
Pokerstars seems to be taking a "let's wait and see" attitude. Item 3 seems particularly disturbing.
Gambling911.com seems to have some information that Pokerstars might follow right behind Party. - Link.
Lee Jones Post on Pocketfives.com:
Hi folks -Obviously, there are many unanswered questions at this point - we'll let you know more as time progresses.
However, there are three important things that we can tell you right now:
1. Your money is completely safe at PokerStars. It's kept in a segregated account at one of the largest banks in Europe.
2. You do, and will, have 24/7 access to your account funds. You will always be able to get to your money.
3. We have not made a decision one way or another as regards closing our American accounts.
The other thing that I can promise is that we'll keep the lines of communication open to forums such as these. Stay tuned.
Best regards,
Lee Jones
