Neteller never said they were staying for good. Also, the DOJ seized 55 million of Neteller customer's money in transit; they didn't choose to leave, nor did they have the ability to give 90 days notice.

Actually it is falling - anybody with a brain can see that and only the people that are blind with hope do not see it.

As Bill Rini says - go smoke your Big Fat Joint of Hope but things are NOT well in the poker world.

If you have not noticed it the poker rooms in LV are almost empty now and the fish are becoming less and less as they go belly up and there is no EASY way to reload.

I WANT a Big Fat Joint of Hope but saying everything is all right is just lunacy.

Doyles room is folding b/c they arent big enough to stand alone. Look at Negreanus site. It is attempting to stand alone though im not sure it will. Doyle lost its network and had time to find a new one but didnt. Some of the others left but they werent worthwhile anyways.

The only site of real worth to leave is Party...The others dont have any real reason to leave do they? I doubt they had or have any plans to visit america anytime soon

What's the point in speculating? Also note that the sites you mention have taken a contrary legal interpretation than the DoJ likely takes of the IUGEA, or they don't care. It doesn't matter which, and nothing has changed to alter that. If they were willing to take the risk immediately after passage they still are now. The only thing that will give them a big incentive to leave the US market is the new regs coming out and being a lot more effective than they think or seems likely, which might make the attendant legal risk not worth the reward.

Again you can speculate and make all the predictions you want like lawmangaboontroll has been doing, or you can just wait until the fall and see how it stands. However if you both depend on poker income for your living and also don't have any savings, then you might want to start looking for a j-o-b now and avoid the rush later as a backup plan.

Interesting choice of words. Do you mean fall as in the season or as in the fall of Rome?
