I can somewhat understand a publicly traded company being very cautious on this issue. However any privately owned poker site should rejoice at all the money they will pull in when people have to use their sites to play poker.

It is sooooo obvious what's happening:

I've read that several of the companies that own these poker sites have lost upwards of 60% of their value since Friday night. So next the government will do some research funded by some lobbying group affliated with an anonymous Nevada Corporation... hmmm.

Then when the studies indicate that poker is not a game of chance or something of that sort, Harrah's will have already purchased the majority of these hallowed out sites and Vegas gets all the online action it so desperately craved.

Big biz rules and the rest of us suffer. Same old story.

ive been thinking there has to be something behind it all. and this does make sense.
i figured maybe party was plannin on selling itself to a US based business and therefore giving up very easily, which makes sense, but why all the other , smaller, sites too?
