Lou has hit the nail on the head. Deposable income is way down with gas prices and the higher costs of living these days. I think everyone is a little shell shocked at this time. I have even notice a slow down at resturants the past few months in my area. My experince this month has been lots of traffic and few new depositing players. The players that are depositing are only depositng small amounts. I think that people in general are negative with all the bad day by day economic news and higher prices for food, gas, electric, and other goods. Every business is going to be effected during times like these. Also I think alot of potential US players are not sure about gambling online when they have seen news saying it is illegal and it’s not. I do know that the operators do have their act together with players being able to make deposits. It is better now than back when Pay Pal pull the plug. Even better than when Net Teller pull out as far as cc processing goes.
