Hopes are high for Florida, however who have decided to undertake a study into whether intrastate online poker rooms could be a good thing or not.

Rumours are that online gambling giant Partygaming  are helping them with their research.

Approximately $33 million dollars of players funds was frozen, and although both PokerStars and Full Tilt insisted that they would sort things out promptly, it looks like Pokerstars are lagging behind in this regard.

The big question now is what will happen next. Will the US just watch Tilt move onto  different payment processors and carry on taking bets from US players?

PartyPoker, the ‘white knights’ of the online gambling industry (can there be such a thing?) will clearly be loving the effect this recent action is having effect on their competitors that are still ilegally taking US players. Would you want to put your money on a poker site that’s being interferred with by US authorites? Hmmm.
