No one asked for this did they? Like why is Ontario protecting us if as poker players we did not ask for this? Or was it just a cash grab by Ford?

I hate it i have like 16 players each night at my $25/ NL not enough players at all.. then you get 4 people at the table. I dont want to play a cash game with 4 players...

No idea why we got segregated to just Ontario players. Definitely sucks. Hopefully GG can convince them to open it up again.

MrCaspan

part of the reason why they say they did it was because of it's in Ontario player versus an Ontario player. they can protect us as well as the site has to operate in Ontario and have an Ontario license. so if if the company screws us over the Ontario government can protect us.. that's how it was sold to us. it's for our protection. I think Ontario just wanted a piece of the action and was getting nothing

Just like the "legalization" of marijuana. Introduced regulations for 'the man' to collect more taxes.
Used to only be a few laws under the Criminal Code. Now dozens of new laws regulating it.

Spurred by meetings early this year with legal counsel working for NSUS, Ontario's regulators have come to agree that the current interpretation of Canada's online gambling laws is overly strict and that its players should be able to compete against those from other countries who participate from well-regulated gambling jurisdictions.

Said that since day 1, friggin idiots they are. Let's have people who have no idea about the gambling industry.

compuease

So vote for MP that tells you he/she will support the opening up. It's not the sites themselves that are limiting us.. Complaining on here does nothing. Trigs is right, this is the most hope we have had for a looong time. Write letters, create a campaign, etc.
