The amazing thing is that anyone in the Congress thought that this would do anything more than slow down online gambling. Instead of transfering money from a US bank account to a offshore casino, now a gambler will have to transfer money from the US bank to an offshore bank to an offshore casino. And I bet the casinos will make it very easy to do this.

Yep, that's what I did.

They will make it easy to get the money in, but I'm betting (no pun intended) that getting anything out will be much more difficult. The harder it is to get your money out, the more likely that you won't without either a large win or a large loss.
