Our affiliates have been focusing on other markets.., getting their sites translated, setting up URL's with specific country extensions, etc.

I know many affiliates just started promoting any poker rooms that took US players instead.

Everyone got hurt. Stick around though, things are going to get real good in the next 1-2 years.

Whys that? Is the ban expected to be lifted?

Unless this country turns in to Red China, of course.

I got hurt not because there are fewer players, but because just about all my players were US and on sites that stops allowing them.

yes this will get over turned or changed or whatever. I know there will be no all out ban on poker. the problem is not just the UIGA, it's also that poker is dying out.

You can see this with WPT viewers are down and over all new pker players are slowing down. It's just not as cool as it once was.

Although, there are kids turning 18 everyday out there and ready to go play. if you stick to this business you can do fine.

i have to agree that it will change and sooner than later. I bet it better long before 2 years.

I am not so sure about that. Personally I find watching poker on tv is like standing behind my husband in the poker room watching him play....boring.

I don't think that the Canadian market is promoted as heavely as it could be. You can see the difference in rooms like Titan where US players are not allowed and it's past the bed time of the European players, traffic is low.

I personally think that there is still plenty of people out there it's just trying to reach them.

Poker is not dying out, it is huge

Poker is bigger than it was 3 years ago. It just seems like it is not cause we are so used to it and it had a big peak about 1-2 years ago.

It will stay huge for 10 years.
