Yeah, that doesn't speak well for their accuracy then, which is a shame.

So, my bad if anybody took that as an inference that the review was written today (but from reading posts here, I doubt anybody thought that is what I meant).
I also agree with what you wrote in the rest of your post. Now that the room choices have become so small for American players.....do you have any sites to recommend for American players?
Or can you do that as I see your massive amount of posts & your name in blue which I think means you are a moderator or an administrator of this site?
Mod/admin/salesperson, but that doesn't often stop me from giving an honest opinion.
I think US players have to recognize that their money is not going to be completely safe anywhere with the current US law enforcement climate. Players need to be cautious, and understand that any money they put online has some risk attached to it. But of course there are risks to many things in life, and many players have decided to manage their risk and continue playing.
Pretty much every site has its upsides and downsides. Cake has one of the poorer reputations now, mostly since Lee Jones left. There was that terribly mishandled $50 K/$60 K thread, or whatever it was, and they are well-known for very slow cashouts. Intertops is a Cake skin that advertises with us and has a support thread here; they are one of the only skins on Cake that has their own cashier, which seems to be a substantial improvement, and I haven't seen any big complaints about Intertops here - on the contrary, their thread seems pretty positive. Other than that, I don't think any one network has a widespread reputation of being any less reputable than another.
If it were me, I'd be sticking with one of the skins that has a thread here, or at the very least a site rep. All 5 of the biggest US networks has at least one skin represented here. Of course I'm biased, but I don't think I'm the only one who has given this advice. I'm sure there are many other fine skins that we never hear from, but I know I'd much rather play somewhere that I know I can come to 2+2 and get answers, and that the reps will be striving to give good service to maintain a good reputation on these forums.
Cliffs: Be cautious, do your research, and manage your risk.
