Sigh...who's got some popcorn?
Being a Republican from the farm country of the Midwest, I've never been more angry at my damn party for backing this malarkey. Funding terrorism my hairy...
On a professional level, CakePoker stands by fact that our company operates within the laws of the country we're located, Curacao. We ask that everyone abide by the laws of the areas they reside, but we're taking no steps to block any country from participating on Cake (save Iran, North Korea, etc).
Cake is a poker site, pure and simple. Players wager against each other and Cake charges a rake for the transaction only. Me personally, I wouldn't play any game online that has the computer deciding the winner when the company makes money from the player losing. My background is in video game design. The only reason I agreed to design Cake is because it's very similar to the world I know very well: Multiplayer Games.
Sorry, getting off topic here. Poker is a social game and has done more to bring more people together for fun than any other game in the past 10 years. The fact that it's getting lumped in with this legal wrangling really irks me. If horse racing is still legal...poker definately needs to stay..but...I'm biased.
