　　US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reinforced this week his earlier remark that the online poker bill authored by him and Senator Jon Kyl would likely not pass a Senate vote due to no Republican support.

　　Earlier this month Senator Harry Reid commented that it's unlikely that his online poker bill would be adopted this year due to the lack of Republican support. Reid requested his colleagues that support legalized online poker to help him convince GOP Senators to join his cause.

　　This week Reid reiterated his belief that the bill would not pass due to lack of Republican support. Reid explained that around 15-17 GOP Senators are required to support the bill in order for it to get approved but at "this stage, we've got none."

　　As time passes the adoption of the Reid-Kyl bill becomes increasingly unlikely. Even Reid himself stated that if the bill won't be adopted by January 2013 the whole process might reach a deadlock. The situation is worsened by the fact that co-author of the bill Jon Kyl will leave office early 2013.

　　US online poker players have mixed feelings regarding the bill developed by Reid and Kyl. While the bill would legalize online poker, it would also block international operators' access to the US market for a period of 2 to 5 years.

　　This would mean that US players would only have the opportunity to play at online poker sites operated by US land-based casinos that lack any experience in the online gaming business. Concepts such as rakebkack and deposit bonuses might become a thing of the past.

　　Likewise, the Reid-Kyl bill would officially incriminate online casino gaming of any kind. At this moment online casino gaming is not illegal but US financial institutions are barred from processing payments coming from or going to online casinos.

　　Industry experts and most players believe that the Reid-Kyl bill is not the right way to legalize online poker. Experts argue that blocking offshore operators' access to the market will seriously harm players' interests and gaming experience. More than this, such a move might even be against various WTO agreements signed by the United States.
