Repercussions?
So..what changes are we going to see in the online world now? Some of the issues that I see arising..
-lower guaranteed tournaments
-fewer tournaments for the west, and as mentioned, many more in the Euro time zones.
-Vanessa Selbst getting a day job to pay her way through school
-way fewer pros out there
-way fewer Supernovas as there won't be the volume available?
-an increase in live tournament attendance in the US?
-Will Full Tilt and Stars merge to a single platform to get the numbers up?
-Can or will these two sites continue at such low volume?
I think we can obviously also see many more gov't run sites in the near future.
How many millions? billions? did the pros in the US get locked up today?? How much do Antonius and Ivey keep online that they likely don't have access to? What about the rest of the pros cash online...can many of these guys afford to lose that amount?

Do we take him back?
Guess I am changing plans and gonna play this if the overlay is still there.
Scoop hasn't changed their numbers yet either.
NAPT tour is probably DOA unless you think they will have more of a presence in Canada or do you think the online sites will give up on N.A and focus on Europe? Big plus for WSOPE obv.
yeah, I figured as much as well...just wondering though..if they do cross border or re route their IP can they log in and play? Don't know how they would get paid as that would likely get flagged.. Or, are any accounts US registered simply locked?
As was mentioned...maybe border housing in Canada will all of a sudden be unavailable and we will have grinders shacked up in them all...lol

If the owners are convicted they will never get a license to operate any ONLINE CASINO and No B&M will join in any partnership with any of them.
Ya think Wynns knew something was coming when they decided to back out of their arrangement with Stars? Early last week I believe that happened.
3 will have to be sold to another company and probably renamed before this can happen.
I believe that all 3 are pretty much finished.
The next question to be answered is how long before Canada, and European countries catch up with the US...
