Simply put, England will not be affected by this. This is a thorn in the side for US players. It is NOT banning online poker. It specifically calls for US banks to not allow transfer of funds to online gambling sites. Poker is not specifically mentioned, but obviously those sites are impacted as well. However, third party sites like Neteller cannot be blocked as they deal with other things besides just poker/gambling sites. So if US players put money in Neteller then getting money onto and out of poker sites will be a non-issue.
The biggest kick to us in the US is that there are a bunch of sites out there (including Titan) that are running away with their tails between their legs. They are closing US player accounts because of all of this.
That's kind of the nutshell summary. There are some other small details I've missed that I'm sure others will be quick to point out.
Edit: guess we were typing and submitting around the same time.
