While that's all a concern, and I don't mean to minimize it at all; I'm far more concerned about the taxes you'll inevitably face as you try to withdraw your winnings. Can anyone really afford to pay something like a 30% or so tax on their winnings IF they are fortunate enough to win in the first place?
 
In a "sport" where something like 80%+ of the players are aleady losing players to begin with; this will virtually eliminate any profits that the portion of players who are only marginally winning players now enjoy. That's gonna leave only the "crushers" as enjoying any true winnings and, eventually, I fear, will kill online poker as, say, 90%+ of people realize that, with the onerous taxes, there is just little money left to be made unless you are at the top of the heap.
 
Hope I'm wrong....... I wouldn't mind an up-front tax so much (taxed as you deposit) and then any winnings are free and clear, but I just don't think it'll pan-out that way.
