Nice idea, apart from the fact there are no chains of Bookmakers in the US.- Seriously? So when a couple go shopping on a Saturday afternoon - where do the men go when the women are wandering round clothes shops?

french going
01 February 2007
The French appear to have joined forces with the USA and decided to crackdown on online gamblers. They have produced amendments to a ‘delinquency prevention' bill, which was put in place to combat future riots after those that took place in 2005. However, these amendments may stop Internet players enjoying their favourite pastime.
The French National Assembly responsible for the amendments, have created similar legislation to that of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which makes it illegal for financial institutions to transfer money to gaming sites.
In addition, this new bill also attempts to stop banks transferring money to known gamblers, as well as prevent companies advertising online poker rooms. One in particular is Pokerstars, who face a possible ban.
Whether these new amendments will come into play is uncertain, but it has certainly frustrated many French poker players. The French governments disapproving stance on poker is also the reason behind the European Poker Tour's French leg in Deauville being cancelled.See me playing $10/$20NL like it was play money
