Default 888.com possible change of heart?

888.com is saying that "US based members may keep their accounts open as we plan to launch new money play games in the near future that will be legal under the new legislation"

I wonder if their legal team has found a way around this, or they are hoping for maybe some wto action to stop this insane illegal US protectionism, or I don't know exactly what...

But here is the text: http://www.888.com/more_info.htm

In economics, companies play follow the leader. If 888.com see other companies proceed to generate more revenue while ignoring U.S legislation, they will follow suit.

That's what it sounded like to me...I do believe party said something also about allowing US player to play in the play money games or something. I can think of other things to waste time than that though.

No. Money Play = Cash Money. Pacific describes their free games as "Practice Play".

Have NO idea what this might be. Perhaps something involving charging a service fee rather than a rake?
