I think this is great. The more exposure the better. Not because they got caught, but because everyone else in the industry is going to be looking a lot closer to their systems and making sure this doesn't happen to them. And in the long run this is better for the players. |

Not only that, but it's more fuel for the fire of those determined to outlaw online gaming. Quote:

It seems like steps in the right direction were being taken, but who knows how giant of a step backwards this will be...

Definitely the worst thing to happen to online poker yet. Either it will be regulated in the near future (not THAT bad) or dry up. |

I think this is going to be worse than anything the government has done up to this point. The fact that the main stream media has picked this up does not bode well IMHO |

I don't know - if you look at the traffic on poker sites - even Absolute - this has had little to no effect. One would think that while the gun was smoking, people would run. Isn't happening. |

Give it a bit of time. It's only just now hitting the mainstream news outlets and that's how most folks get their information. Quote:
