?Companies like PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker are facing legal issues today due to their decision to stay in the American market after the U.S. passed the infamous 2006 UIGEA law banning financial transactions related to online gambling,? explained Canadian-poker spokesperson Leon Daniels. ?Other companies decided to forego short-term profits and pull back from the market to protect their reputations from the potential scandal of being accused of illegal activity. As we saw with Black Friday, it?s clear which companies made the wise choice.?

?For 888 Poker, it was simple ? withdraw from the U.S. online poker market or put its players, its brand, and its stockholders at risk,? Daniels added. ?Other companies, especially those without stockholders to consider, weren?t lucky enough to reach the same conclusion. With this licensing deal on the horizon, it?s clear that 888 made the right call and could stand to have a huge presence in the United States to go along with their Canadian market share as soon as the Americans pass online poker regulations. Canadians should be excited about this news ? it could mean more competition and more potential profit, all thanks to a company that already has Canadian interests at heart.?

?Party Poker is another smart company that made the right call in withdrawing from American online poker after 2006, effectively preserving its reputation during Black Friday and allowing it to focus on `Canadian players rather than defending itself from American prosecutors,? added Daniels. ?Players know they?re in good hands with companies that have proven they can make the right decision.?
