Jugulatus;276583 wroteThe main business reason that a new FT ownership should pay back the players is that if the do not, they will surely lose the players to other online poker sites (the migration has already happened for those that still play online poker at all). No players, no profits.
Morally, yes they should. As far as retention, they are out of the US market, so they won't get those players back, it a debt they need to recover somewhere else.
A few sources point to the new investors only wanting the Europe market.
As far as Canada goes, those, like my good freind that missed the Main Event after winnning a seat, prob wont go back either....
