I thought 888 had announced a pull out when the bill is signed but I just heard the CEO saying they were "seriously considering" it (BBC Radio).

Is he just a bad mouthpeice or are they thinking of growing some baws?

"Seriously considering" means they are definitely pulling out.

Because pulling out is different than pulled out.

They're pulling out when bush signs it. Bush hasn't signed it. That's why they're still "seriously considering" it.

my cousin says that "pulling out" translates to "will you buy me beer?"

Because they're going to have to notify all US players to cash out first.

It's not like they've already locked everyones accounts just because they decided on it. The law hasn't even been signed yet by the president.

People need to relax, even if you have tons of money in 888/PArty wherever, you'll have plenty of time to withdraw.

There's already a statement on the LSE site saying 888 will cease US business when the bill is signed. I just read it.

I have found the full length interview with the 888 CEO does not make happy listening.
