Poker.com Statement - no change in operations
#7506986 - 10/02/06 07:03 AM

Very quickly, as far as we are concerned our operations are 100% legal under international law and we follow all laws of the jurisdictions in which our operations reside. There will still be plenty of places to play poker and the industry will adapt, evolve and survive.

I'd like to say something about the US legislative process and the integrity of these Republicans, but my mother always said if you can't say anything nice....

Smart move to post this. Other sites should be using this as an opportunity.

Great News! I believe many sites will not run scared like Party, Pacific and Will Hill.

Sites willing to take a stand will be rewarded with our play!

Poker.com is a small site offering mostly micro limits. No PT support, but OK software. You can multitable and they have resizeable windows, like Stars and Party.

They are also the site that picked up the tab to send ChecknRaise WSOP qualifiers to the tourney after CnR reneged and said it souldn't cover the tourney fees. (Believe there were 9 or 10 qualifiers, and CnR wanted to pay them the $10,000 tourney fee to them in monthly installments. No idea how that turned out.)

Something to keep in mind---today's small sites may be next month's big sites if they are willing to take US business.

The sites that aren't already disgusting wealthy will be more than willing to gamble with the US gov't to take down a share of US customers.

I applaud your efforts, poker.com.

Your location says you're in Australia, is that where poker.com is based?

Could you tell us how the Australian govt. regulates internet gambling? I think if we can prove to the US govt. that legalization and regulation of the industry can work, then we may be able to do what Italy has done recently (going from banning to regulation).

It's a small site where I ended 3rd in 20k freeroll and took 1.5K where my BR was 1.1K. Thank you Poker.com!

Thanks of the statement. Keep in mind that this bill passed unanimously in the Senate and nearly unanimously in the House so there were plenty of Democrats who voted for it too.
