Yes I would not want them banned, the less players the worse it is for us.
It would however cost them money to set up country specific software or pay staff to deal with country specific issues which might make them realise that they can not just do want they want when they want at expense to everyone but themselves with out some of us making it harder for them which could have the the opposite effect and a reduction in profit for them long term.
Might also stop them doing something stupid like making all mtts hyper or short stack, max/min buy in on cash tables smaller, no deep tables or ante tables, all the things that would benefit them increase rake and variance making more for them and taking the essence of game away while reducing the chance we can make money and increasing the chances new and rec players will just jump straight into long shot table/casino games that only benefit the site rather then get little bang for their buck with low reward offered at poker tables.
As it is they no doubt would love to have zoom only pools and no HU games but I think we have the right to play them if we want.
Plus I would feel better if they had to pay some of my extra rake the 3% when withdrawing or depositing to staff rather then just those at the top.
If the sn and sne got together and approached other site think of how much that would hurt stars profit.
Even if they decide not to drop the rewards system and stop the stupid new HU rake for table starting it would make me happy.
