They are all jumping ship so fast for 2 reasons:
1) To comply so that they can not be accused of something illegal or be accused of being unccooperative – this will help relations for FUTURE regulation of gambling.
and…most importantly…
2) So we get SOOOO ANGRY, that we cause a huge stink and make sure a change occurs. They don’t want poker players to just sit back and “accept” the legislation by saying “business as usual”.
