The deposit volume decreased while the costs (regulation & taxation) went up. Now the operator (who btw has some heavy debt burden) tries to maximize their winnings.
So a poker-pro, who uses a HUD and selectively targets bonuses is smart, but a business is greedy, even both have the same target?
seriously ... operators provide the tables and all those 'fish' pay the bills. i don't see why grinders think, they have a stake to claim. the only problem is, that far too many ppl thought, online poker is a never ending gold rush.
and about saturation. of course there's some sort of saturation. if this effect wouldn't exist, the 'mass exodus' - which according to NVG should have happened 2 years ago - would have taken place and we wouldn't have this (ongoing) conversation.
or take unibet as an example ... they made some nice changes, but ppl still think they need RIO poker instead of giving those swedes a try.
anyway ... with GVC and PP there's some competition coming, so the next years will be very interesting.
