Internet poker will become legal in the U.S. this year

[Akillies]

Gibraltar-based gambling group bwin.Party has reached a deal with MGM Resorts International and Boyd Gaming to partner up when online poker is legalized and regulated in the United States.
All three companies put out press releases today to publicize the partnership and follow-up interviews with several news agencies have outlined how the agreement would work.
According to a report on reuters.com, once the proper regulatory framework has been enacted by the US government a still-to-be-named company will be formed by the three parties in which bwin.Party will own the majority share at 65%.
MGM will hold 25%, Boyd Gaming will hold 10% and each entity will be responsible for the same percentage of start-up and operating costs.

BWIN is not the same BWIN from years ago. Before the UIGEA Party Poker started started buying up companies in an attempt to corner the market. They bought out all the skins on their network, empire, intertops, etc as well as online casino Starluck...When they moved into sportsbetting they joined with BWIN...the company is now officially known as Party.BWIN and is traded on the london stock exchange.

They also recently bought out The World Poker Tour........

And if we had any reporters in this country we could probably find out they have made huge contributions to Kremlin sponsored candidates....the only thing that could have brought this sudden change of direction in policy from the former republic now dictatorship known as USA.......Less than 2 yrs ago they were indicting the owners of Party Poker and demanding millions in ransom payments.. Now their best buddies and ready to legalize it all.
Pretty funny how an election year can change the policies of even the most criminal minds in the Kremiln........

BWIN is awesome, great out.

They would be if they had higher limits....lots of good props and an abundance of betting options, so lots of good bets even with their rather high juice.
