So online poker is expected to be legalized on a state by state basis, starting with Nevada within 60-90 days. So far only Nevada, and only players living in or visiting Nevada can play on the sites. Suggestions are that California may join Nevada soon, and the player pools for the two states could be merged.
It's a step in the right direction ... but I imagine the player pool will be small and tough. Winnings (withdrawals) will be auto taxed at 6.75% (which very seems reasonable considering the sites themselves are being taxed also).
In the rest of the world, we are all very patiently waiting for Zygna poker to go real money ... it is in the process, and I've recently just started playing again to build up a bankroll in preparation for poker boom part II. They expect to go live at the end of 2012 or early 2013.
FYI ... Zygna poker has 7.5 million daily users on facebook and 10's of millions of registered users ... dwarfing the combined players pool for every poker site by about 100x.
