PokerStars, and then Full Tilt shortly after, pulled out of Washington State the day after the state supreme court ruled RCW 9.46.240 constitutional. Between enactment and this subsequent upholding, PokerStars continued serving WA players, banking on there being no enforcement while the law was being challenged. When that challenge failed, they folded up and left.

There are still sites that serve WA players for the simple reason that they can. They are out of reach of state authorities who aren't really going after them anyway. The legislature passed a ban, and turned a blind eye.

Last year we got a bill introduced to regulate the game, but it didn't get any support from players, operators, or the local card rooms. It's probably cost prohibitive in their eyes.

I have a [URL="http://ipokerwa.blogspot.com/"]new angle to pursue[/URL], seeking to join NJ's ring fenced market. It's a taller order but makes more sense. Hopefully we can draw some support and get a bill further in Olympia in 2017
