Re: Some Clarification
Mason,
I want to thank you for finally stepping up to the plate on this issue. This is obviously the biggest scandal to ever impact online poker. Having 2p2 officially involved is critical. The online players need an entity such as 2p2 representing their interests in this.
You have the opportunity to use your considerable influence within the online gaming industry to not only help ensure Absolute (and UB by default) come clean and pay their dues for what they've allowed to happen but to also get the word out to the online poker community at large.
The vast majority of players are blissfully unaware of the scandal. The majority of gambling websites continue to promote both AP and UB. This has to change if we expect AP to clean itself up. The only weapon we have at our disposal is our ability to expose AP to as many people as possible. The only incentive for AP to clean up is financial. Until players quit depositing/playing there, they have no reason to change.
My hope is that you will use your standing/reputation within the industry to help spread the word. By issuing a statement which clearly defines 2p2's stance on the issue, the story will have more merit with the mainstream media.
There must be dozens or hundreds of bloggers/webmasters reading these forums on a daily basis. These people are more likely to follow your lead. If we (webmasters, affiliates, forum owners, bloggers) all work together in a combined effort, the word will spread, AP will begin to feel the pinch.
Please, use your power and influence wisely!
