With advertised, legal and regulated US poker, all those rigtards will line up and give it another shot. There will be no hoops to jump through to deposit, just like there are none to play live. Gasp... there may actually be more players than live due to the fact you don't have to leave your house.
The best thing up can do is take almost all the feedback here with a grain of salt. They are running a business and the amount of silly things some of you say that are wholly self serving is hard to digest.
Lot is going to change and this is the first step. Business as usual and catering to grinders is not going to be their key to success. They are a well versed casino company they know where the money is.
I just get bemused reading through here and seeing people freak out or offer horrible suggestions that run counter to actually being hyper successful in the Us. That landscape is not something the nickle grinder is probably going to find to friendly.
I seriously hope they don't lean to heavily on feedback from here. Most of it is horrible when it comes to what will make the site successful which will then hopefully lead to expanded adoption in further areas.
The tank some of you have lived in for your online poker lives is not the environment where successful poker will be in the US. Since up and station got out first I want them to succeed. If they just try to recreate poker of the last ten plus years that will not happen because someone else will offer the environment the masses want.
Saying there is no way to protect or cater to recreational players is dumb. That is exactly what they should do. The guy who figured that out might have amassed millions and millions of us players in the next ten years. I have to assume others will be coming behind. I don't know how big a jump they got at up but it is a good start but it is not an insurmountable lead.
Bottom line is the site(s) the grinders like the best and the site(s) the recreational players like the best will be mutually exclusive. You know which site wins that battle right?
