    I'm guessing yes, with obvious exceptions of Sportsbook, PlayersOnly, and others with strong sportsbook or casino presence.

    So why are they moving from one-software to another? Players may find it difficult to adapt with the new software and as all say, players might not be happy with this move.

    The reason is unknown (except for various speculations flying around). We just know that they did move. The press release is here https://www.casinocitytimes.com/news...network-196273

    I suppose the RTG casino they had was not worth their time?

    How could they lose?

    It's actually quite easy to see how they could lose.

    Based upon the reaction here, as well as the overwhelming reaction that many players have had, they WILL lose on this.

    Many players may decide to just stop playing there and move to other rooms. (lost revenue)

    Clearly affiliate do not like this move and may stop or reduce promoting them. (lost revenue now and future)

    So although they may save in some fees they were paying out, I personally think it appears they will lose more in lost reveune and players than they will have gained by the move.

    Obviously only time will tell.

    Maybe one of the tenured poker affiliates can come up with a history and timeline. Personally I can say:

    2006: Tribeca
    2007: Microgaming (while not permitting US players)
    2008: Microgaming and allowing US players (except the "11")
    2010: Cake
    2011: Yatahay

    That is as far back as I can go. Where they somewhere else before Tribeca or after Tribeca and prior to MGS?

    That sounds about right... after they moved the 2nd or 3rd time I decided it was a bad idea to promote them. Also, I had some guy try to sell me their mailing list on several occassions. This kind of behaviour or constantly switching networks should be deemed as rogue by affiliates as everytime they move, the affiliates are the ones that get screwed.

    And the cream on top... They originally stated, better promotions along with other BS statements. So, this week The Bounty returns. This used to be a 50K tourney with some juicy payouts for taking out a marked pro, the first you got was 1k, take out two get 10k all three earned 50k.

    Now it has been reduced to a $5K GTD game ($27 buy in will reduce the overlay) and the bounties are ALL $150. No matter if you take out one or three, they are all the same $150.
