I’m not so sure this is a good thing. Its going to force a play now.
I tend to agree for several reasons. The way I see it, the Yahoo initiative can threaten our current business as affiliates.
1) Today, any webmaster in the US can make money promoting online gambling. It’s not illegal, we can make enough to pay our bills. If the Yahoo initiative catches the attention of some politicians, special interest groups, etc., there may be a chance that our livelyhood may become illegal. That’s not a risk I want to take. I would rather have the status quo.
2) Yahoo is huge corporation with incredible marketing power. If you read the article, it says that players can access the new site “Yahoo betting” from the yahoo platform. Let’s say “Yahoo Betting” becomes the most popular gambling site and most gamblers start to play there. What happens to our affiliate earnings? Yahoo wouldn’t need us to refer players because players are being referred directly from Yahoo. We would all be fighting for scraps trying to promote the smaller sites.

Of course,I could be completely wrong. But, I just don’t want to jeapardize changing the staus quo for a worse scenario.
