Its the perfect financial storm for affiliates. First we get smashed by UIGEA and the pull out of many our top programs from the US. I saw a five figure loss a month when the Playtechs, Wagershare and Party Poker bailed on us.
Couple that with wild inflation, Gas prices that are insane. tightening credit, utter destruction in the real estate market and all the other things 8 years with the Republicans brought on and you see its the perfect financial storm.
I feel terrible for people who are struggling and wish I could do more, but I am taking a huge hit along with them and like Dom said we cant feed everyone.
I think the best we can do is be emotionally supportive as they go through these hard times and I think we will see a MAJOR turn around in 2009 if we can get Obama into office. God help us and the country if McSame is elected as McCain is personally opposed to online gaming and will destroy whats left of our economy.
