Empire & Paradise dead! (nearly)

I occasionally visit these two for a little sit 'n' go Omaha Hi/Lo...
Went there tonight - no action at all!

They are obviously suffering big-time after pulling out of the USA.
One wonders how long they, and others like them, can carry on....

I don't feel to sorry for Party/Empire but Paradise had some really great games. It is hard to believe they are as small or smaller then WPEX now. Paradise will shortly be considered a micro sized site if they keep this up. They really shot themselves in the foot when they decided to change the bonus structure for 30 days. That probably will be what finished them off.

Last time I looked Paradise was still owned by sportingbet, and I will never lose the bitter taste those guys left in my mouth.

I sympathize with their having to deal with one of their execs being detained on US soil, no one deserves that kind of treatment. But it doesn't erase what they did.

I have never been able to warm up to Paradise because of who has the final say so over there.

Ah, the infamous "drop your affiliate" bonus.
