Does it Affect Canadian Players?

[Manchild84]

I know there's a lot of threads popping up because of this, but thought this one might be somewhat valid... I guess if it's not it will fall off the page pretty quick.

How does this affect Canadian players?

[Sephus]

it probably significantly upgrades the quality of your competition.

In the same way it affects Russian, El Salvadorean, and Nigerian players.

Less fish.

[Anders]

I believe you have a phrase for this.

Loosely translated from the original Canadian text, I believe it is "YOU GET [censored] BY A MOOSE"

[Manchild84]

Hmmm... while I guess that's better than being afraid that I'll lose all my Neteller cash or money on sites.
Still have no idea why regulation doesn't seem to be getting any serious consideration though... alas.

Edit: Less fish is better than losing cash. Getting effed by a moose, probably not. I'd pay at least $300 to avoid being effed by a moose.

gambling is sinful and also think of the children

[Manchild84]

Well, if you want to get technical, the Bible says nothing of gambling, and therefore isn't expressely a sin. It says to be wise with your money. So if your a fish, gambling could be a sin then, I guess. If you're good, it's Salomon-esque.

When i first started playing, paradise poker was the main site.
They would have 3000 players online and i remember thinking "wow" 3k players all at the same place.
There is now 100s of thousands of players and americans make up 80%,so that still leaves a sht load of players.

As far as the games being tougher,im not sure i agree.
Ive been playing at some of the sites that have recently banned american players and found the games to be great.
Lots of europeans ,canadians and and even players from asian countries.

I think we will see alot of sites consolidating and we go back to the old days.As a canadian things are still good, although i am sad to see my U.S counterparts have to go thru this.

it's possible that the sites will still allow american players, but only winning american players (with a few exceptions) will be able to play.
