Titan is OUT.
 

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet. I noticed Titan is still in the "undecided" column in Berge's post.

Just spoke to my affiliate manager who is their Sr. affiliate manager. He works with top performing affiliates, so this isn't just a peon scrubbing floors. Playtech, which is publicly traded on the LSE, has made the decision to pull out of the US market by the end of the week. No surprise... it's the publicly traded companies that are bailing.

He noted that they do well in France, Italy and Spain, getting a good 50% of their traffic from non-US sources.

Good news is, they won't have a problem covering US player balances and affiliate earnings for September (they owe me a bundle!)...

For folks worried about getting their money from sites that are going to pull out of the US, I think the fears are unfounded. If the sites didn't have enough $$ to cover their arses, they'd be saying "we're staying in the US market! Please don't withdraw!"

I don't care what customer support tells you. From my experience they're pretty clueless anyway. Titan is out. Take it to the bank.

Thx - If you find anything public/press/email could you let me know? In the mean time, I'll make a note of this beside Titan in the sticky.

I'm not saying that it won't happen, because it most likely will, but I just talked to my affiliate manager with Noble Poker and he said that it hasn't been decided yet. So, I would hold off on any annoucements until it is 100% certain.

A friend of mine who is a large affilliate for Titan confirms the same information - Titan poker is due to pull out of the US market.

Im thinking Prima is out because they dont have tons of US players but am wondering if they are public traded?

Re: Titan is OUT.
 

Just talked to live support, they are no longer accepting US customers. Wouldn't give me a straight answer on when they were closing my account though.

Prima seem to be leaving the decision up to the skins - they've been silent so far. Microgaming (company behind Prima) are not listed on the stock market.

And just when I was starting to get nice rakeback deposits from them. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Just to be on the safe side, I went ahead and converted all my Titan points to cash. I'm not even sure what else you can use them for...
