CM, banning players from your forum may not work – at least not as well. I suppose if the U.S. player can’t complain, then the fact that you are listing the Casino won’t matter. I don’t suppose there is a way they could just reach the forum without reaching the banner. But I would prefer banning to you leaving the U.S. segment.
The reason I hate to see you abandon a segment of the market is because you have been a regulating force for casino integrity. It’s like you, Spear and Jetset are Wyatt, Doc and Morgan in the Wild West of Internet Gaming. Frist and company has shown up at the OK Corral and I don’t blame you for wanting to protect yourself but surely there is a way you can do so without abandoning the U.S. market segment.
Perhaps you could list the casino but not the link? Wouldn’t this do the same thing as far as protection? In your example it will be like getting pulled over but someone else is driving. Surely you don’t think a review and opinion is a violation of the law. If the landscape changes, you will be in a better position to market.
I think the landscape may well change if webmasters, casinos, and web wallets don’t panic. The banking lobby isn’t happy. And the Christian Right that Frist was trying to woo is disaffected due to FoleyGate and may well sit out the elections. The U.S. poker players may actually be a tipping point and the only way to settle them down is for Regulations to ignore the Web Wallets. All this points to Regulations that will allow Neteller to keep functioning, but we need a regulated marketplace. But it is going to be mute if there aren’t places to play.
Just by way of example, my state has a plant that processes horses for human consumption. The residents hate it. And last year they finally got a law past that would prohibit the Agriculture Department from spending funds to inspect the plants and so the plants would close. There was much celebration. But the horse processing industry complained and the administration simply told the Ag. Department to charge for the inspections and business goes on as usual. It’s all in the implementation.
Internet gaming has always been grey. My state attorney-general insist it is illegal in my state and we ignore him – even my friend who worked in the attorney generals office ignored him. But business went on as usual. I expect it might again.
Speer, the point of my discussion about Snyder was only to give American Players some options. We have to go someplace and Snyder will intercede on behalf of players if he is listing the casino. That’s not going to fill the hole you guys leave behind but it is a start. And certainly being proactive in finding funding alternatives is something that will be helpful.
I am glad CM says nothing is written in stone. I am hoping for a creative alternative. But if not, I hope players will post reputable sites that list casinos for Americans so that we can support that segment. Snyder’s is a good one.
