I think it’s much more of a sinister conspiracy, orchestrated by certain Casino’s, Sportsbooks, and Poker Rooms, working with the U.S. Government
Hear me out
The “Patsy’s” so far have been Sportingbet, Party Poker, 888, to name the big 3
As big as those 3 are, they have all been suspected of shady doings by members of this board and the entire affiliate community
The Plot is this…
By eliminating the U.S. market(a similar move to Sportingbet wiping out its affiliate program), they are “temporarily” shutting out that action, it will not be permanent, they will lose money if that is the case, but that is not the case
Then after a period of some months, they will reinstate that action, but the hitch is this, you will no longer receive commissions on those players
Seems like a bizarre theory(still in progress), but only because i witnessed Sportingbet pull off a very similar move in the past, as well as WSEX(another patsy who got “pretend busted”) did i start putting the pieces together
Like mentioned here, the gambling market is growing, and the immediate reaction of many will be, “since the U.S. Government opposes it, it must be a good thing”, and that will only increase the action
When cocaine was free growing in the wilderness everyone was smoking opium, then they made it illegal and it became a multi billion dollar a year industry(slight exaggerations there, but u get the point)
I’m thinking there is something sinister brewing here
Think about it logically
Party Poker and 888 must make an unbelievable amount of money daily from the U.S. market, why would they just pack up and leave so quick without even putting up a fight, makes no sense whatsoever
There is more here than people think, alterior motives are behind the scenes
Please feel free to add to my theory, some parts of the puzzle are missing, extra brains always make things easier
