haha the world is so flowered

I haven't played online for ages, but is it cool to play with fake chips? that's all I ever played with online

If you mean, will we still be able to play with "play" chips on game sites or Facebook etc. ?  My understanding is yes.
 
It's been a grey area legally for some time and the ban is for overseas internet gambling.  Online poker has been included in the bill.
