Question about the poker ban & new site?

[boarderman23]

Hi,

I don't remember seeing this, but I probably missed it.

It may be more of an opinion, but once the law actually goes into effect, do you think we will lose all new US players? I know they can play now, but I don't know if they will be able to actually stop US players from playing on the sites that still allow US players.

I ask because I am debating on whether or not to start a new poker affiliate site. As you know, it will take several months to get a good site up and running and I don't want to spend all that time promote to only other countries.

Any thoughts would be great.

Why would you target america?

Some sites sites still accept so pick the ones that do.

Carry on. If you enjoy it, do it. Just keep ur options open.

They may block ISP's & funding methods.

They may frown against it but allow a decriminalisation policy

If you look at the poker affiliate industry as a whole nobody has jumped ship yet. A few websites have changed hands and a few affiliates have moved on. But as a whole not much has changed. Although Neteller is accepting US payments. When that stops things will look a little more bleak.

There is no way to tell what well happen for sure. We can only hope that law suites tie this up and/or over rule it. While I have not heard of any actual lawsuites pending; I do belive we will see them soon.

As for now do what you feel is right. I for one am sticking around until the Feds start making waves and actualy shut down US based affiliate web sites. I'm sure I won't be the first so I'll have some warning. Then I may have to look into porn...and I don't mean just look at it...even though that would be fine too because we all know porn is morally better for us than a game of poker right?

Thanks for the responses. I'll let you know what I end up doing.
