More comments from online poker sites...

By: Tuscaloosa Johnny – October 02, 2006

Bodog.com Founder Calvin Ayre issued a statement to Gambling911.com late Sunday night:

"Bodog is a broad based digital entertainment company that has long ago ceased to be dependent on any one revenue channel. Bodog will continue to monitor things as they unfold but is not expected to make any changes until our study is completed."

Similarly, the smaller company Empire Online plc, owner of Empire Poker stated:

"In light of the new legislation passed by the US Congress last Friday, Empire Online has immediately commenced a review of the likely impact on the company's current business activities. Presently it is difficult to assess the exact effect of this legislation, which could have a material impact on future earnings. The Board of Empire Online will continue to take counsel from its advisors on this matter and will update shareholders accordingly."

Most others remain tight lipped for now.

 

The law is definitely the 800lb. gorilla at Pokerstars.com. All sorts of "news" on the main sites, and entries into their "PokerStars Weblog," in the last couple days, and yet not a single mention of the new law....
