Any internet sites that may have to shut down soon?
in last 3 years have pretty much stuck to the established site PP, PP, stars, and UB, and a small try at truepoker.
thought about giving another one of the newer sites some business, but i am worried about them closing shop along with my BR. So, have any of these sites have problems getting consistant traffic, or have they not grown much in the last several months? Absolute Pacific Bugsys intercasino |

I dont think you'd have to worry about intercasino shutting down AND not giving you money in your account because of their highly profitable and established casino. They'd be good for any money you put in their basically.

No way that Pacific and Absolute will close their doors either. I've never played at Bugsys so I can't say much about them.

Intercasino and Pacific are both backed by large, established internet casinos. I don't think your money is at any greater risk with them then at the sites you already listed.
I have no idea who is behind Absolute, but they've always been prompt with payment, and have grown quite a bit in the past months. Whether the growth is due to increase of loyal customers or merely due to generous monthly bonuses is to be seen though. Don't know a thing about Bugsy. |

Re: Any internet sites that may have to shut down soon?
Though Pacific has been listed as being safe from having them run away with your $, it has also been pointed out by several posters here that they have a possible collusion detection/enforcement problem.
They tend to be lax in their investigations, or at the very least apathetic to their players whom have been cheated. I personally have never played there. Though some of the evidence that I have seen on this forum, leads me to believe you would be better (and safer) playing on some of the other sites mentioned. Just my thoughts, Husker |

Bugsys is tied in with PokerPages.com and the PokerSchool Online, so they not going anywhere either, granted they dont have many ring games going, but they basically for tournaments anyway.

BC is solid I think.
I have been playing alot at Bugsy's Club of late.Their cash games selection is really very poor but they have good tournies.They rarely have more than one or two ring games running that have over a $40 pot average. They just sent me a new bonus offer for 20% $100 MAX! They have great structure to their MTT's-you start w/10,000 in chip and the blinds rise very slowly.Problem is these tournies take a long time to play but it's worth it! BC also has really improved on their software-you can use a larger version or a smaller version which I use.Their customer service is surprisingly good-fast and friendly. |

No online gambling site is secure. Legislation could come tommorow that would put a large majority of these companies out of buisness. Also what happens if the government where these casinos are located team up with the U.S and decide to raid these places? Look at choice poker. When I came on here telling all of you not to deposit there, you called me a moron. Some of you idiots like HUSKER, and FLUFF need to get back into reality. No one is there to protect you, and the world is not all flowers and goodness. So stop fooling yourselves, you are taking a bigger gamble depositing funds, then when you are playing. |

Re: Any internet sites that may have to shut down soon?
Gabby you are right in one sense, wrong in another. While legislation COULD conceivably come down against online poker sites it would not close the sites down but rather make it illegal for US players to play there, the sites would remain active as they are all based off US soil. Therefore, one could still get their money most likely from these casinos after any legislation was completed, or head it off at the pass in a sense and pull out their money before the legislation is completed.

Re: Any internet sites that may have to shut down soon?
we're also talking about calculated risk here. Intercasino, Pacific, and Absolute are just as safe as say Party Poker. You may think that the whole gambling online thing is in risk, but relatively, the sites mentioned are no more risky than the major ones.
