Obama's impact on online poker
Since the US elections have just finished, we now know that Barack Obama will be the next president to move into the White House. However, an important question now arises: what kind of impact will this have on online poker?
As you may already know from here, Kentucky Judge Thomas Wingate has stated that over 140 .com
domains belonging to online casinos in the Kentucky area would be
