Any hope for party returning?

[jvans]

After the new regulations for online gaming are announced is there any chance party will return to US customers?

[bigslowy]

No

[Red Lion]

That is a poor question all things considered. Party will re-enter the market if and only if the US govt will allow it.

[questions]

Um, why wouldn't they? They want to make money. If they have the opportunity, pretty sure they'll take advantage. Wouldn't be the Party of before, though.

Party hasn't been Party since they FUBARed the rake at the $50
tables and closed down the skins.

Party will take which ever course of action they believe will have the best return on their stock price over the next quarter. If the situation changes in such a fashion that not being in the U.S. market is perceived to hurt the value of their stock more than staying out of it, they will return. This would pretty much require a situation where they do not have to worry about their stockholders and possible purchasers of their stock believing them to be at any significant legal risk for allowing U.S. customers to play on their site.

I disagree. It may come back somewhat, but I see many Americans gravitating toward American run online casinos if it is regulated. No doubt poker stars will remain a heavy contender, but big money casinos (mgm, harrah's etc) will become major players very quickly.

I would tend to agree somewhat. Tourney wise, they would have much to offer, trips to tourneys at the B&M site and other benifits and they could tie the onsite points to promos online as well.

I think that Party is more likely to be bought and rebranded than it is to come back.
