Thank you, Party Gaming!

I also wish the casinos would get onboard, tired of hearing poker this poker that.

Up to now, it’s been mostly webmasters and players who have made the most noise, put forth the most effort, and and come up with the ideas… except for a few notable (but very appreciated) exceptions.
The casinos have the resources to do so much more than what the webmasters and players have… and most are sitting there silent… sending emails about “closing up” or “business as usual”… wasting more and more preciously short time.
Some public exposure sure couldn’t hurt, but it does seem to late to get anything truly done about it. Maybe with the next Congress or something, or maybe when the banking lobby starts screaming at Congress about how impossible it is for them to police every financial transaction.

The closer to the actual signing the better. We Americans are a bit too fickle a bunch. Give us too much time and the momentum will falter and drain to nothing
Give us the exact amount of time we need for the momentum to hit full swing and we are a political nightmare.maybe it’s just early and I need more coffee… but I’m confused on why you would applaud Party Gaming?
They have already stated that ANY US Signups for this month , INCLUDING those done BEFORE this bill was acted upon will not be paid to us, and they have announced that they will NOT honor or allow US players…..
Ya, its nice that they are having Sexton put the word out, but courage and conviction? I’d think if they had either, they would have held the line with this bill was announced, and not immediately caved….. maybe I’m being too naive or simplistic…..
I agree that Party gaming was quick to bail out and that they have a mixed affiliate track record but the directors and officers of public companies can be held liable for their actions and I bet they don´t want to stake their personal fortunes against billion dollar law suits.
The last thing I heard about Party was also a bit confusing. Apparently they are looking for acquisitions?! What about creating some more publicity and guarding your own business rather than sinking more money into other companies in a troubled industry?
Let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
This is a good thing!!!!
I don’t blame Party Gaming for pulling out of the US market. They did what they had to do because their top priority is to protect the interests of their shareholders. Other publicly traded companies did the same thing. However, Party Gaming is the first company I’ve seen that has stepped up to the plate to try to fight back against this ridiculous bill. For that, I applaud them.
Yeah, it´s definately a big step in the right direction. Next up should be pokerstars or what exactly are their poker stars up to right now?
By the way, until this law has been signed this kind of capaign will create a lot of free PR for these companies that will sharpen their profile for the post prohibition era.

However, Party Gaming sees the bigger picture here: Long-term industry survival.
Most affiliate programs claim they are doing something by “staying the course” or conducting “business as usual”… BLAH!
What that translates to is “Yea, we’re still trying to make money… but other than that you guys are on your own. Oh, and by the way, keep sending us traffic as long as you can.”

Yes it makes a difference. The PPA is not fighting for online gaming; they are fighting for online poker. They want carve outs for poker not gaming.

The APCW has made repeated attempts to contact the PPA, and we have expressed our interest to work together or assist them in any way we can.
Their response and communication has been all but non-existant.
What have they done?
