"low hanging fruit" - very eloquent analogy

You make a good point. If international online poker becomes allowed, and every sportsbook has a poker room, then i think it would be practically impossible to discern if the money you recieve is winnings from poker or sports betting. I think it could revert us back to a few years ago, when online betting was "illegal", but not really bothered. It's a nice thought anyway, hope it can be similar to how it used to be.
