so what happens to wh after then, does it become an american company or wha.. been with them eleven years and i don't fancy the whole thing getting sold on again in two years to someone else

learned more about US gambling law in one afternoon than i ever expected to know :LOL: @Greenpickle @Timmy noted and will pass that on. i fear hes exactly the type to fall for it...

cheers lads pretty useful. gonna tell my cousin that all big sites were gone from louisiana ages ago, the august just killed the last holdouts, his stuck balance on the small site is probably gone for good with no recourse, and if hes thinking of going offshore crypto to keep playing hes jumping...

sure that makes a lot more sense of it. its not really about protecting players its about protecting the existing casinos from a cheaper online competitor. 50y racketeering thing suddenly looks less like consumer protection and more like clearing the field

wellp thats basically what happened to my cousin huh.. he had a small balance there, saw the news, went to redeem and the window had already closed. gone. he got most of his money off the main one he used but that one just stuck

50y hard labour for running a casino app is genuinely insane to me as a brit. we fine operators here, we dont threaten to put them in prison for half a century. is that normal in the states?

ah right so the big names were already gone. so what did my cousin lose access to then?!!

ok so not my usual area but my cousin lives in LA and hes been on at me about this since the weekend. he plays a couple of the sweeps casinos, the smaller ones, and as of aug 1st they've all gone dark on him. logs in, geofenced, redemption window closed on the one he had a balance on. turns out...

yeah merchant don't give up even if you partially lost, most people would have played it back or given up already

hundred percent Duffy look Obi1 gambling can be countercyclical too. when people desperate they sometimes gamble more hoping to get rich quick. i guess it depends if its entertainment gambling or problem gambling driving the growth

€2m?? bet well see sites just geo-block netherlands now

so true Alex indeed skin betting sites are insane. csgolounge used to be massive before valve shut it dwn but loads of new ones popped up basically gambling with skins instead of money so they claim its not "real" gambling

just got email from another site saying they're ceasing uk operations end of month. thats 4 sites gone from my regular rotation since april. the big operators must be loving this. less competition means they can cut bonuses and tighten odds without losing customers

the new statutory levy kicked in april and its already killing smaller operators. £100mil total split between all uk licensed sites based on their revenue. heard few mid-tier sites already shut down uk operations cos they cant afford it. one site i used regularly sent email saying they're moving...
