The posts over at WOL have made me realize that I cannot even mention the fact that I am unhappy about their action or rather lack of towards 888. At the moment it is all a bunch of people getting drunk at a party, speaking nonsense and setting fire to the barbeque with eCOGRA still on it! I cannot believe the amount of senseless allegations and words flying to and from. I also noticed that the people I respect has withdrawn from that discussion as well. No matter what they say they just get flamed for being eCOGRA buddies.
The fact of the matter is that eCOGRA is all we have, and without a doubt the best we have. They can push a casino to act and they will get legitimate issues sorted out! Part of the reason they are successful is for the structure they have and the fact that they have industry leaders in their midst. As affiliates we should know better than to rant and rave like that. As affiliates we should actually stand together and listen to one another. As affiliates we should not turn on one another but respect each other’s opinions. Every person has an opinion to share and that is his right to share it. Yes I get annoyed by people that do not always think about the effects of their “opinion” (especially in a public players forum) and yes if they share uninformed “opinions” (especially in a public players forum) with the objective that are completely impossible to understand. But hell I am human; I can get peeved now and then. So this is probably my last opinion before I leave this discussion to the rest of you.
Exactly.
And there are a lot more important things to do than trash eCOGRA (if you get it to shut down there will be no one to ever fund another attempt at self regulation).
Searching google for 888, Casino on Net and Pacific poker spamdexing and turning it in to 888 and google is infinitely more productive and cannot hurt.
