I was surprised by a comment by my dad on this issue, and he hates all forms of gambling and has nothing to do with the industry. He thought the reason everyone was bailing now, despite the fact that the law has not been passed and internet gambling remains legal in any case, in that it only targets US based financial institutions, was because it would create an instant shockwave amongst players, webmasters and related companies that would enable them to mobilise more effectively as a political force – this shockwave having been initiated by the major players.
It makes a lot of sense – a gradual drib drab of companies quitting one by one over the space of 270 days would have nowhere near the same effect on players, webmasters and politics.
It is already serious :dontget:
It couldnt be more serious then this. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
This announcement is FAR more devastating then anyone may realize today. I am personally crushed by this and not just because I do well with this program, but because I think its a precurser to other MGS cut and runs from the US Market.
I wish I hadn’t gotten up this morning.. :whoa:

I painfully have to agree with you on this Professor.
I just don’t get it.. Maybe i don’t see the whole picture because i’m not a US resident.
Bush didn’t sign the law yet, the restrictions are only about money transfers and there are many debates about the true / real meanings for everyone as well as efforts by the World Trade organisation and others to stop this law from being enforced.
Moreover, there are 270 days for everybody to work as usual to my understanding.
I just don’t understand why so many programs get cold feet so fat and close their doors.
One thing is certain though, going this road.. The smaller programs might not last long and merging will take place in the following months.
It seems like bad times are ahead, if this will go on.. many affiliates will have to look for other sources of income.. Closing down your business is not easy.. It’s sad, very very sad.
I have to admit this statement comes as a complete surprise to me as well – especially given the fact that the legislation has not yet been signed. I thought Wagershare/Fairground would have had more common sense and waited.
Do we lose our players forever? Or do we get them back in the event U.S. activities resume?

You don’t allow them to gamble at your properties? They’ll find other places and may not return.

i have to agree
i would not go back to such a Casino to play again if they reopen my account
i would not any trust in them anymore.Oh boy, oh boy.
I must agree with the professor here. Very sad and shocking.
Seems sites are worth less and less each day – you were wise to get out asap.
Lifetime revenue is having a very short lifetime. 😡
That’s going to leave a mark. Time to go to monster.com :Cry:
Fireone -is this Firepay?

What’s a site worth when the casinos do not accept US Players?
If you get a good price for your site, you are lucky. If you don’t, you will probably have to shut it down and others will take your serp’s if you had such good ones.
Another option is partnership, this looks more and more reasonable with everyday that passes.
The steps programs make will naturally impact affiliates… When the rain falls, we all get wet.
