[ QUOTE ]
I cant see Stars giving up so easily, I guess we'll see later today but they're so deep in the us market, but I guess we shall see. [/ QUOTE ] Kind of like Party Poker?

[/ QUOTE ] Stars is a different beast, first they arent publicly traded 2nd stars marketing compaign seems generally US focused. I would expect party to bolt alot faster than Stars, though granted stars pulling out wouldnt be some big shock but I am surprised they're acting this quick.

Re: PokerStars expected to pull out as well
The public/private distinction is being overplayed in my opinion. I don't think that the CEO of a private company would want to risk going to jail in America anymore than the CEO of a public company.

There are those folks who will take the risk if the financial gain is big enough, kinda like drug lords. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, it's alway cool to do business with drug lords. They are generally very trustworthy with other people's money.

[/ QUOTE ] I think Party had to pull out to avoid trading in their shares being suspended by the LSE. Obviously Stars are not in the same boat at all, does anyone really care anyway, this legislation is obviously protectionism and probably illegal. Mack

Re: PokerStars expected to pull out as well
Among the high traffic sites, we might have only selected Ongame sites left after the smoke clears. Full Tilt, UB and Stars might be in crisis mode right now.
But have no fear, other sites will emerge as huge winners by taking on fleeing US traffic. Remember Planet Poker once dominated the online poker landscape - things change.
