Like I get WHY you want this (obv) everybody wants to make sure their $ is safe, myself included, but it also seems like without this even with major improvements in cashout times and everything else that your saying you wouldn't let up at all and basically want to run them out of business if they can't show you this, so I'm just asking will bovada, merge, carbon, etc. show this? Like is it something that ANY US-facing site will do?
(Again I have no idea but i'm curious)
So what I get from this is you clearly understand why members of the poker community would want this 3rd party audit confirmation. I also agree with you.. this couldn't possibly be a proactive practice by any US Facing site with respect to the DOJ and other legal concerns. What I think you're failing to understand is that
it takes expressing a great degree of incompetency and dishonesty...(we could go on for a while here) in such a company's actions to have such an audit so widely desired within the community. Unfavorable and deceitful practices not as inherently expressed by other U.S. Facing sites. Sites that are reasonably transparent and honest with any unexpected challenges they might face, and how this may or may not effect their customers. Sites that do not insult the intelligence of our community by consistently bobbing and weaving their way through the public's justifiable questions and accusations. It is these U.S. facing sites in which you attempt to make your comparison, and it is these aforementioned reasons why it is a ****ty one to make.
I want to say you are of these lock pros I've had mad respct for over the years. I just hope you know, with a very
great degree of certainty, that things
will get better and the players money actually does exist. Otherwise it will be a helluva shame for all of you that spoke out and stood by your company. A company's integrity which is yet to be
ultimately determined. One day things will sort them selves out, and the sensational lock saga will have its resolution. But it will be at this point, however, that we will either go to our mailboxes and cash our checks, or we will know that you, and other lock pros, chose such an action without possessing that
great certainty. An action chosen when other, less popular but more honorable, paths existed.
