i have notice last 2 weeks, lots of people selling their poker sites.
sitepoint, digital point, even in PAW. is that caz USA going to Ban gambling?
just caz of that i had to sell my sites too. caz 70% of my player from USA.
so i sold 2 of my sites last week. Kyle knows it.
Anyone else planing to sell?

I'd rather take a big loss and never be able to use my site again than sell. Fuck that we wont get shit for them anyway. Just my opinion.

i sold one of my site $1200 this friday. however im not sure if i made a mistake. though i sold only the sites not the affiliate account. caz that site 90% target USa player.

i keep some site for now.... which target Europe, Asia, South america.

Why i sold so quick? Caz i looked around lots of forum, and i saw almost everyone selling their sites.
even one of my firend Sold his all 3 sites. so im lil bit worried.

Yeah, but that was before companies started shutting down to US players and everything went to hell.

I'll change all my sites to tell the story of how the government raped us before selling them, and I make okay money at this too. Enough to live well enough and support a 7 year old daughter. Think I’ll put pictures of my daughter online and write about how I had to tell her we couldn't go on vacation next year and showing similar stories from full time players and shit like that before selling. Ugh.. still frustrated!

i have some wonderful pictures of taking my son to disneyland right before this happened. he's in mouse ears and everything. you can post them and talk about how sad that he'll never take another vacation again.

and he won't remember this one since he is only 10 months.

We have considered selling but are unsure at this point. We might just convert our tour to be targeted towards the UK market. We have many players outside the US so we would have a start. It would take time to build it back up, that is for sure.

If anyone is thinking about moving their websites offshore, I would be very interested in a partnership type deal.
PM or IM me if you are interested in discussing this.
Obviously this would be an easy way around the legalities, however a degree of trust would be required.

If you are interested in selling OPT, I might have a buyer. I'm brokering a few websites and am in contact with a company who is buying.
