LOL. What do Neilson expect? That's like saying "US casualties have dropped significantly since they pulled out of Iraq"
All bar one (two maybe) of the sites they quote above stopped taking US punters so there is nothing there for them to see! It would be more relevant if they'd taken a subset of sites that still accepted US traffic. I'll bet you anything those have RISEN to make up a large portion of the shortfall on the ones above. Talk about skewed analysis ![]() PS. That wasn't a dig at you jetset ![]() |

Neverthless, I disagree with your view Simmo. This sort of factually based and continuous monitoring of formerly major entities in the US market is important reading for those who wish to assess the ongoing impact of the UIGEA and how this changes going forward.

I don't dispute that Jetset. But analysis like this only shows one side of the coin. If it is to be presented as a statement that the UIGEA is working the way the Government intended, then it may not necessarily be accurate. If it is simply to show the effect on the Public sector, then yes, it clearly is accurate.

You are not reading the stats properly if that is your view. There is a mix in the sample of public and private companies, together with those that have abandoned the US player and those that have not.
Have you noted these facts and the impact they have on producing a balance for an experienced company like Neilsen/NetRatings in this field?

I've set up a poll for the US members to see what effect this has had on them:
http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...ement-act.html Interesting stuff on traffic. I've been watching mine closely (as always) and it's pretty much unchanged. The players will always be there ![]()

Overall, I have cut back on my play because outside of Microgaming there doesn't seem to be that many online casinos to play at without seeing online casinos doing their own "advantage play" in taking advantage of US players and their (US players) tied hands. |

I wonder if the results of this survey are from webmasters not promoting some of these brands. Maybe the Professor can fill us in if this is the case.
