    Is "THE WORST BEHIND US" or "THE WORST IS YET TO COME" ?
    for the internet gambling industry?

    Have we been through the hard part of this ordeal or is it just going to get even worse?

        I'm generally a pretty pessimistic person, and I can't even vote for "the worst is yet to come."

          After the loss of Pinny I gotta say that the worst is behind us.

          You can still deposit and withdraw at the books( Just not Pinny)

            Undecided - right now my 65k is only being held hostage. I'm not sure if the hostage will be released or killed.

              I'm about 50/50, but I voted towards optimism.

              It's just a big transition right now, and big transitions are always filled with mixed feelings. The Neteller doomsayers are just that. There were Pinnacle doomsayers too, until the payouts finally were processed. Neteller probably has 10x-100x in terms of sheer customer quantity than Pinnacle, so it may take 10x as long to sort it all out, who knows. But, I still think it will get sorted out, in time.

                We're dealing with humans. I'm not sure at what point some humans thought they could tell other humans how to live their lives, but it's a bit of a celebrated tradition. Usually doesn't last very long though.

                I understand laws against hurting others. But the US has to come up with a law against hurting yourself. (does that mean I can hurt others now, because I'd love to blow Cheney's head off?)

                  Slacker,you are right.If everybody just let cooler heads prevail,this whole thing will blow over.The DOJ and US has way bigger fish to fry than this shit.This little crap barely gets a mention anywhere but these sites.

                    I think it depends on how you define "worst".
                    If you mean biggest dip then yes it's almost certain that it is behind us. There is nothing left to loose that could beat loosing Pinnacle and Neteller within couple of weeks.

                    But if you define "worst" as the lowest point then I'd say that it is still to come. All the same old story will go on - payment processors and books will succumb and continue to drop US players.

                        I voted "behind" us. Because Im already betting exclusively through local books.

                        It will have to improve big time for me to get back into betting offshore. Not going to bed at night not worrying about my funds being frozen or lost. And the way things are going right now, thats exactly how I would feel if I was still betting offshore.

                              The worst is still yet to come.

                              Who knows whats going to happen with everyones money they have in NT. Let not forget about these new payment processors that are starting to pop up nowadays. Who knows which ones are good and which ones will be scams.

                              Then you gotta wonder whats the next thing the DOJ is going to target. I could see them targeting web portals in the future, to help them cut down on offshore gaming.


                              definitely I believe the worst is yet to come.

                                      That's a bit on the insensitive side. The guy makes a casual comment on how I'm handling the Neteller confiscation of my 65k and you have the audacity to dispute the fact the I have that much in Neteller. Everyone out there who has a few hundred to a few thousand are making all the phone calls and complaining and I am not going to add one iota of progress to the situation by calling them, complaining, or otherwise losing sleep over it. I'm obviously not happy, slightly worried, but nonetheless hopeful the situation will be rectified.

                                        #1 option you referring too (** processor)

                                        That could just as bad as this NT crap going on right now if they look into it in depth. The people funding via ** should be ok, because a lot of people used fake names when they send there monies. However, when they collect it they use there real names.

                                        #2. DOJ

                                        There very scary right now IMO with everything going down right now. Who really knows what there capable of when it all said and done.

                                        #3. Think positive.

                                        Normally I would, but not right now with everything going down so rapidly. This is turning into a real nightmare if you look at it from the big picture.
