So according to the poll 56% of players plan to move most/all of their action to another site. So we can do nothing, move most of our action to other network(s), bumhunt Pokerstars and prey that an other site save us from Amaya in the near futur or we can fight back, right?
Any ideas how to fight back?
Mine is pretty simple : organise a social media campaign to educate players where to play and more importantly why they should avoid to play on Pokerstars (except for mtts). How?
- create a simple site where recs will find all the infos
2 options : option 1 it could be a non profit site (no affiliate links) or option 2 a profit site with affiliate links for 2+2 that 2+2 users will share on their social media, a cloned site for pokerstrategy (with affiliate links for pokerstrategy) for pokerstrategy users, etc.
- share weekly coordinated posts on social medias
Educating recs about how greedy Amaya/Pokerstars are, best sites to play who are not screwing their players month after month, rakeback and so on...
Imagine 1000+ players sharing on social medias, easily 100k+ people could see weekly every post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & co.
As you can see the idea is simple, that's not a boycott, it's a win-win for everybody, the players (we attract more players to play on other sites), the other sites (new deposits) a win for the owners of the biggest poker communities (if option 2). So a win-win for everybody except, of course, Amaya
So what do you think? Am i delusional? Any other ideas?
