I guess we have to remember it's the law now in the USA and in some ways many have been lucky to be able to gamble at all between then (Nov 2006? I think) and now ...
I really hope they will regulate gambling - and as Rita already said - yep it's all about the money / taxes.. and I'm sure they'll realise in time that this doesn't work..
I'm reasonably confident that things will get better for our USA players but I think it will take a while .. always seems to take longer to get something allowed than to ban it .. I would not like to speculate about how long ... but at least a year probably more before things get straightened out.
The fact is .. a lot of affiliates make money, many from the USA and that money then gets pumped back into the US economy so overall I don't think it makes sense really - but then what does these days? LOL
It seems like the USA casino players places available are reducing at the moment and there's not much people can do really - I can't imagine a politician going 'pro-gambling' for an election ? With more pressure .. maybe ..
Anyway, I'll stop babbling now and wish everyone the best of luck 
As for QT - I'm very sure they'll pay the money to you - after all it's most likely in a USA account (those transfers in process) and I really can't imagine they'd want to keep that money away from USA people - after all - it will go back into the USA ..
Anyway, getting ready to meet our first arrivals in AC soon 
All the best e1
