In order to ensure installment before Obama takes office, the Fed. Reserve and the Department of the Treasury published the final rules implementing the UIGEA on Nov. 12th.

By doing so, the regulations against payment transactions involving Internet gambling become effective Jan. 19th, the day before the Obama is inaugurated.

These regulations are vague and fairly difficult to enforce.

Instead, the online gaming community should be legalized and regulated so we can benefit from the taxes as the residents of Nevada and Atlantic City do.
