Default Re: Fossilman\'s Account Hacked?

Do you work for the WPT too?

No one forced them to sign the agreement with the WPT and no-one forces them to play in the events.

"The Complaint alleges that WPTE and the casinos have unlawfully conspired to eliminate competition for the services and intellectual property rights of top, high stakes professional poker players. In particular, the Complaint alleges that the casinos have agreed with WPTE that they will not host any non-WPT televised poker tournaments."

I'm not a lawyer, but I think this is why it's considered an antitrust lawsuit.

In other words, if the option were available for someone to negotiate with the same casinos that host WPT events to produce other televised tournaments, then they would be "fine" with choosing whether or not to play on the WPT and sign the release forms.
