Updated We read the operator paperwork
The industry section was about the business rather than the game. It followed a sponsored professional walking away from Lock Poker as that room stopped paying; the remissions fund for Full Tilt players and whether it would cover everyone; payment processing success rates, measured room by room because they decided whether a deposit worked at all; the spread of the fast-fold format once 888 shipped its own version; the closing of a room’s forum thread when the questions got awkward; and what a trade show floor had revealed about where the money was going next.
21+. Play only where your state regulator allows it. We take a commission from some operators; it never moves a room up the list. Gambling problem? Call the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738).
