Default Another poker site crumbles to the pressure...Doyle\'s Room done...

We all know Tribeca gave Doyles and others 6 month to find a new network. DR's said they would find another network and continue to serve US players.

Now today they've came out and said no thanks to the US market. They are not going to serve US players starting march 1st.

Sad day when the godfather of poker pulls out of the US market.

There are now 10 million rooms all trying to serve non-us players. Good luck to them. They can't all survive.

Some of the smaller rooms had a chance to step up and fill the void left by Party and others. Instead, they decided to pull out.

I hope they go out of business ASAP.

Lol, there has been like Party, Absolute and now doyles who had large US market share that decided to pull out.

And yeah, they wont miss you, you ungrateful moron. Come back when you realise it is your government who has screwed you over.

Im quite happy to continue using neteller to transfer between all the poker sites in the world safe in the knowledge that my forward looking government which allows regulation and incorporation here in the UK will look after my best interests.

if this is indeed true about doyles/im sure he was advised by council to do this. He lives in the USA and might be looking at an indictment if he continues serving usa players/its quite possible.

gambling911 has pulled the article about this. Maybe it was not a final decision.

I hope they decide to stay....just out of principle.

That post did sound a bit condescending, but blaming the poker rooms for pulling out really is juvenile. What would y'all do if you were facing prosecution? Keep the business open as an act of civil disobedience?
