I am not so sure they are pulling out. I think they are stopping applications for the moment, can you even imagine those 2 sites getting hammered by thousands of pissed off gamblers in the last few days, I would close off registration for a few to catch up too.
I just tested payspark and was able to fund it with my mastercard so they have not shut off the existing usa players that have signed up already.
Get your players info on reloadable debit cards, prepaid credit cards, I heard a rumor about Bodog having a new system to deposit with but have not had time to go check it out.
xxxhttp://www.nucharge.net/IMHO Click2Pay and PaySpark have dropped a very serious ball. This was an opportunity for one of them to emerge as the new big time processor. Instead of buckling down, hiring big time, and filling the spot, they freaked. So be it. I don’t know if I could walk away from my share of a $12 billion market at a possible 1.9% (which NT was getting).
J Todd we need you – don’t get depressed. I believe that a new processor will emerge to fill the need – someone has to see that this is a huge opportunity. The problem is that it will take time so maybe we all tighten our belts for a few months.
I just can’t believe that an entire industry rolled over whimpy… There’s been nothing from the casinos except a few who suggested their non-working method of choice. We all would have thought they would do some fighting to save their billfolds.
Personally, I’m not looking forward to finding ways to get paid or running to the bank with a sheaf of checks!! My NT is cleaned and it’s a case of “now what”. Kind of sitting here feeling that there’s just nothing to do. Put up new casinos, update new games, do….what?
We’re all sitting here in a vacuum having a post mortum and it’s weird.
BUT tomorrow’s another day – maybe it’ll get better

Thanks ntaus… nice of you to say… :blush:
This is a tuff fight… maybe I need to take a day off and breathe. A little distance from all this may do me some good.
And remember it’s only the USA that is affected, plenty of other countries out there!
Someone is going to step up!
There is just too damn much money in the US market that would be left on the table for someone NOT to want a percentage of it……. lets just give this a day or two, remember, it was a weekend….hopefully the people at CAP Euro can find out some info and shed some light….
well there is alot of money in illegal drugs too but not everyone is rushing to do it.People /businesses have to look at the liability involved here too.I’m sure these big corporations are being told by their lawyers to run from this and concentrate on other markets.

Fact is, we don’t need everyone to rush to the 6 billion/year that the US players generate. We just need a couple. One deposit method might even be enough if it’s near impossible to block and is privately held by owners who like money more than they like trips to the USA. If one method works, you can bet all the USA facing casinos will be picking them up immediately.
Do US posters feel comfortable talking openly about facilitating criminal activities on a public talkboard?

I wish all drugs were legalized...
Last time I checked, we still had freedom of speech.

Given DOJ’s actions so far, it seems to me they’re much more interested in going after ‘big fish’ who are stupid enough to jump across the pond.
If they’re going to cut off the USA from online gambling, affiliate portal sites’ effect pale in comparison to openly advertising .Net poker rooms on ESPN and the Travel Channel, no?
Just in case, Prof? :hehe:
I dont believe all affiliates are at risk, but…
If they DID arrest lets say five affiliates and ensured those arrests were publicized what effect do you think that would have on the affiliate market?
Have they tried this same approach with other channels?
