Sooooo how do the US election results affect the online poker playing field? Do PokerStars now have a better shot of returning to the market?

Given that Sheldon Adelstein(?) allegedly was his biggest campaign donator it looks pretty dark doesn't it

You're fired

just a few notes to ponder about.

Trumps best friend and business partner, Phil Ruffin, owner of Treasure Island , Las Vegas. Who was partnered with 888 before black Friday.

Sheldon is a big donator to the cause of Israel. Always.

Trump promises to roll back regulations that hinder our economy from growing. One of those regulations involves RAWA and online banking.

In my opinion, our President will be looking at all streams of revenue for our country and something as simple as taxing rake is free money . I truly believe we will have online poker back before WSOP 2017.

Thank you elite poker players for your deep thinking and unwavering support for an American looking out for Americas best interests.

Didn't DNegs viciously campaign for Hillary and isn't that same DNegs Amaya's little bitch?

This, but less optimistic about the year. Trump did express positive comments regarding all forms of online gambling, libertarian approach and asking why leave money on the table, i.e. taxes, BUT at the same time why bother with something relatively trivial which undoubtedly is going to infuriate conservatives.

poker is such a small thing compared to what trump has in mind. he's just not gonna bother so there won't be any change.

even if there was, there won't be a second online boom.

the dream is over, it's time to wake up.

Totally agree. Thanks to Trump we'll have legal online poker, prostitution and drugs in no time. All those revenue streams!

One can only hope... Might make stars a bit softer

any opinions on the risk of ignition/merge/ACR poker rooms and would they be more likely to be shut down if online poker gets legalized?

last time I checked, you have all the drugs you want and pussy is the oldest business known to man. You can't play cards online tho, thanks to these precious politicians especially obuma since the outlaw came under his administration. keep drinking that ignorant boost shake every morning we are seeing real results.

It's quite amazing that in 2017 an American could have a loaded gun capable of killing people in their hundreds yet are not allowed to log in to pokerstars.com and play a $2 sit n go.

Online poker is the last thing on his mind. Maybe at the end of his term he would consider legislation if there is some huge story about online poker to grab his attention. As president, he has much bigger things to worry about

you dont live in america and are not american, gtfo

nothing is going to change poker wise because of trump. the majority of this country doesnt give a sh*t about poker

With Mike Pence as VP and the choices he made for his staff there is no way online gambling will be legal. We're going to have another Bush type era of christian politics the next 4 years.

This statement is totally nonsequitur. Sheldon has been our biggest opponent throughout the years and he just so happens to be one of Trump's biggest donors. Trump has no stated position, but has shown a propensity to mold his opinions heavily according to those who have his ear. There is a very likely chance we face an outright federal ban

delusional given above

Yes this as well. Pence is against us as well as top Trump donors. GG us

It's pretty naive to think that Trump is gonna give the slightest crap about online poker.

Bang. Bang.

Yes, you can.
Yes, I do.

i unfortunately agree. i don't want to agree, i wish i couldn't agree, but for online poker to get done trump would have to buck the party in power of both houses of congress and buck all of his inner circle

mike pence is a disaster. ask the PPA

I just saw that trump pledge to make online poker legal and mandate an open player pool except for Mexicans and mulsims and e. European countries. However Russia is in because Putin.

This will happen immediately after he deports 3 mill illegal immigrants.

Plus a Republican House and Senate. Hell, John Kyl's name has been brought up for a possible cabinet position.

Anyone that thinks republicans owning majority governors, senate, house, supreme court, and presidency is good for america, let alone online poker, should get a mental exam.
Sheldon has dumped 100s of millions into every republican candidate in nevada, Pennsylvania and florida and republican presidential nominees.
But poker players have no back bone and still frequent adelson properties, so I guess none of you really care anyways
