how long before PS UB and FT drop?
unfortunately, all the "chicken littles" were apparently right. firepay, neteller, party, mansion, paradise, now doyles room, etc etc are all off limits to the u.s. some neteller funds are being seized by the doj, and even some particular banks are not wanting to honor checks from certain sites/companies. virtually everything that can go wrong, has.
i have to assume that all of these companies shut out u.s. players because they felt they were (at least very soon were going to be) forced to. how long before stars, fulltilt, and ultimatebet (and the few other little guys that are left) just give up?
this latest fiasco with doyles room illustrates that a site (or a representative) can tell you theyll definitely be open for the foreseeable future, and then literally hours later slam the door. im thinking ps, ft and ub happen to just be the smartest/greediest/boldest and are trying to make every last dime possible during their last few months in the u.s. market. there have been a lot of people predicting the slow but eventual falls of all these rooms/companies, and we all sat here and shot them down repeatedly. but every day the people who were accused of "overhyping" the ban are being proven right. gaboonviper is starting to look like a genius with all of this.
the bill was signed on october 13th, so the 270 day enforcement rule marks july as the big showdown date. i wouldnt be surprised to see the last few remaining companies stick it out til may or june and suddenly just pull the plug on the u.s. im guessing stars will be the last major site left and drops in may.
