PokerStars.com - Washington State

No big deal, no one who cares about civil liberties lives in this state anymore anyways. Sure this results in loss of 5 or 6 players at most.

Well that is Def interesting. In the past Stars has disregarded all US legal issues. Makes ya wonder what is next

Which state next Prop?

Not sure but if i had to make a betting line I'd probably start with something like this:

5/1 Kentucky
5/1 Louisiana
6/1 Illinois
9/1 California
10/1 Missouri
11/1 Oregon
12/1 New York
12/1 New Jersey
13/1 Nevada
14/1 Utah
15/1 Wisconsin

Then smooth it out, add a field bet and juice.

They haven't disregarded, they've taken the view there are no applicable laws. In washington though their Supreme Court just ruled that there is definite, clear, constitutional sound law against playing Washington.

So, if they want a license in the US, they have to respect an unambiguous law.
