That's an interesting article. Seems that the actual casinos have no direct business deals with these online poker websites, such as PokerStars.net and FullTiltPoker.net. After all, I agree that they will not put their successful land-based names and reputation for just a financial gain from advertising these online gambling websites.

Articles like that really infuriate me.
I hate people who don't research before they state something as fact. Not just about online gaming, but about anything. People still don't realise that the UIGEA does not prohibit a person from gambling online..

Yea Renee, I thought the same thing. People will read and believe. It's unfortunate that they misrepresent the details three places and a quote!
