me? It’s been 4-5 years since I was UK domicilied.
:bigsmile:
Perhaps Simmo?!
Anyway for what it’s worth …
Yahoo is … well … naff.
Is there anyone who uses the Yahoo portals as their home base any more? The whole look and feel of the place feels very off to me and I personally barely use them.
The Poker section that you’ve linked above continues that theme – and you might get a lot of pre-pubescent boys and girls playing but it hardly seems like it’s going to be a “big money” portal.
I’d expect to see a lot of FREE PLAY going on there – athought it’s faqscinating to see that they’ll offer rackback on a 10-1 scheme upto $1,000 !!!
What is good news is that a mainstream like YAHOO considers it acceptable for their UK portal to launch and offer REAL money poker.
:bigsmile:
That has to be a blow to the mindset that online gambling is EVIL – and a step in the right direction for acceptance of online gaming.
Actually I AM surprised that YAHOO as an American company deems it acceptable to offer ONLINE POKER to foreign nationals through it’s UK offshoot – while knowing the situation back in the good ole US of A.
Surely no matter how the accounting works eventually the profits from this venture have to end up back in the parent company – and so we now have a US company making profits from online gaming.
So overall I’d see this as great publicity for the online gambling community as more evidence that online poker is entertainment – not EVIL … but I don’t expect this “tutti frutti” version to capture much of a market.
