Remember also, if a regulatory regime does come, all the now, US-facing sites will be locked out, and the other sites that have left the US will have to start from scratch in order to, also, receive a clean bill of health.

In DOJ eyes there is no difference between the sites that left after UIGEA and the ones that stayed. Both have breached the US law. The fact that even NETeller founders were charged under the Wire Act and not under UIGEA.

The US may not be able to effectively "lock out" sites they disapprove of, however, if all the fish come back it will likely be to the "US Approved" sites....this has the same impact as being locked out to the "non-approved" sites as all business will follow the fish.

Party and the others left because they were cowards, in my opinion. I still see them all being taken over by the US gaming industry or becoming irrelevant.

They left b/c they are a publicly traded company and the owners didn't want to go to jail. It's not like they made party poker with some noble intention of helping the world. They did it to make a buck and were very successful. I still wish party were here but I don't see how they are cowards

agreed. if i had 1/10th as much cash as the leadership of party has there is no way i would risk anything, shareholders be damned.

Party is managed by cowards. They chose to leave instead of challenging the UIGEA and the DOJ in court. They will try to negotiate a settlement with the DOJ and throw our interests as players down the drain. They will release our account information to the DOJ.

All of that information is controlled by Party. What do you think Party will do? Go put your head in the sand, but Party has done nothing to indicate that they are not going to kowtow to the DOJ.

In other news, Party stock has sunk to the lows that it reached right after it pulled out. This most recent collapse in its stock price factors in the UIGEA effect. Party is looking more like a takeover candidate for MGM.

Grasshopper,

Rzitup is Mike O'Malley the poker room manager of party who has previously shown himself in the zoo to be worthy of zero cred.

I would love to see Party come back, but I think that the only way it happens is through a takeover by one of the US gaming companies.

Yeah. You get it when you tell the truth all the time and follow through on promises you or your staff makes. Which is why you don't have any cred. Your word isn't worth spit. But after all you work for Party Poker, started by a smut queen and currently run by Mitch who is the opposite of the agile leaders well-run corps have.
