    U.S.A. books will strong arm politicians to bam offshore books
    This is just my opinion but you know this is coming. These U.S.A. books will put political figures in their pockets to pass laws to ban the use of offshore books by American players. Anything to corner the whole market on gambling revenue they will do. Trust me. It could be a year, a few or a decade but it's coming.

    It will also give the govt. more power to monitor accounts here and tax accordingly.

    Win win for the scumbags in Washington and Corporate America.

      Offshore getting squeezed on google now and major posting boards

      It has become taboo to play offshore somewhat

            That will happen but you need most of the country to be gambling first. That will take a while.

                  The top offshore books, will never go away. ok they can no longer advertise at Sbr, so what? They already have huge lists of gamblers and can either market directly to them for new accounts
                  Or they can take the money they spent here and use other ways to advertise.
                  Or they can maintain their current players and boost their referral programs
                  the only potential area of possible concern with Sbr banning them: "dispute resolution"

                      The politicians are actually surprisingly smart when it comes to gambling. They all say that it has to be competitive with offshore. So if the companies aren't cutting the mustard, they are not going to help them a whole lot.

                        Which is what I'm so scared about. Heck, if you type Bovada into google search bar, what comes up first? Draftkings and Fanduel.

                        Not Bovada.

                        The problem is, they act like they are trying to protect consumers. They aren't protecting anyone, they are cornering the market to themselves.

                        If I'm stuck with USA only books, I'll be done betting. I won't be able to make money with only legal/regulated books. So rather than bet on things for fun without an edge, I won't bet at all.

                                Man, SBR is really going with the full-court press against offshore.

                                Never. Going. Anywhere.

                                  I was talking to some lady other day about 70 hotter than a loaded pistol at the slot area Wind Creek Casino and we were talking about betting and I said I play at some offshores and draftkings and she said walked away and gave me the finger and went to window to bet some games you see people frown on offshore now.

                                      Not a single offshore book went under during COVID. I think they'll survive this onslaught from the legal books as well. Harder to pull off another UIGEA or Black Friday when (a) we have Bitcoin now and (b) the sites almost exclusively service US players.

                                      PokerStars was more willing to take the hit on Black Friday because only 30-40% of their customers were Americans. What % of Heritage or Bovada's customers are American - 80%? They'll have a new domain up ASAP if the feds try to toy with them

                                                  They already have. This is why we've all been here and had SBR for years. You can't block websites (if you do they will just change to another) and crypto. Republican (of course) Frist put the anti gambling bill in the 9/11 port security act, which started the whole poker apocolypse and made it a lot tougher on the gaming sites to though they adjusted.

                                                  Some poker sites decided to pull out and try to be "legal" one day. Odd that it's still a cluster penetrate yet a game of skill, and gambling is becoming legally very quickly.

                                                      Us books don't care about the offshore market there is more than enough business for them in the US.

                                                      Most of the bigger offshore players are sharper players anyways.
