I've often said that if we (the USA) were open to serveral different poker sites, there would be a battle between the sites for who could offer more and higher payout freerolls to get us to their poker room. What do ya'll think... I can dream can't I ..... LOL
I think they would try to make depositing and withdrawing the easiest possible and then offer really good rakeback before they worried about big free rolls,lmo
There might be some big "do nothing" freerolls initially, but nothing on a weekly basis. Getting entry into the biggest freerolls usually requires something from the user. Things like making a deposit or generating a lot of rake.

I mean think about if for a second. Although im sure they will have freerolls to get the casual players and such. Their main aim will be the depositers and players with whom they can earn money off.
I have to agree with this statement. This would be one of the big issues that I would look into if the US started their own sites.Quote:

This will not be an issue when online poker is "legal and regulated". Think of the way Vegas works. Buying chip is not easier or harder at the various casinos. The battle between the Vegas casinos is on how to get the people in their casinos.

and I gotta eat & sleep so I would spend a little cash there...probably go with at least one other friend ...
but imma want a free sovenir t-shirt thrown in ...haha
when they do finally bring better sites to the USA, I really hope it is really easy to withdraw and deposit; take the taxes out each transaction and let us play!!!
Look I honestly believe these massive stealthy poker sites like Full Tilt we have been reliable were not regulated enough, for that matter, not at all, and if horse racing can be legalized and made legitimate, and online poker has a much larger market potential, then yes, but it will be good for all because these sites will be better watched
I think you got it here.. I think all USA poker players are waiting for this to happen, hopefully sometime very soon!!Quote:

I think we will have it in the USA. But, I'm thinking it will be at least 2 years out at the earliest. So, we will just have to wait and see.
i think within next year or two there wil be 2 or 3 main poker sites in US that will be american plyrs exclusively.
I agree. It would exist more competition between the poker rooms, so, they would have to offer better promotions. Nowadays, online poker is monopolized by Poker Stars and FT only.
so how long do usa players have left on carbon, i hope it last for a while, i am starting to get use to carbon now..need more system improvements and more tournies but i love the cash games and 1.10 game, and the bounty games as well
