Message: [QUOTE="Egon Towst, post: 738638, member: 11768"] I applaud and agree with most of your points. However, this: shows a lack of understanding of the issues. Those sites which have banned Americans have done so because they have assets in the States and are vulnerable to reprisals or (more commonly) because they are public companies. Many of the major poker rooms are quoted on the London stock market. Market rules require that a quoted company must respect local law in all major jurisdictions where they operate. They [B]did not have a choice[/B] other than to stop dealing with American customers when America introduced its new legislation. It has nothing to do with loyalty and it makes no sense to take it personally. [/QUOTE]
