Well you know what"s out there in terms of potential sponsors. We are extremely pleased with the partnership that will be in place for Season Four. But it is not any operator who is US facing at this point in time, which may well disappoint some, but while we remain an ambitious fast growing live poker organisation, then getting black listed in the US is not on our agenda.
Based on that info I"m guessing it"s probably going to be Party Poker or Ladbrokes. TBH, as much as I moan about iPoker software they"ve
finally got re-sizeable tables which was one of my main gripes and a move to Ladbrokes would actually be worse than iPoker imo but oh well, can"t please everyone. Maybe the added value would be a place on the Ladbrokes cruise though
Party Poker would be a good option, their software is good enough. I don"t know what they could throw in as added value but the added value is of less importance to a player like me (see: donator) than the everyday playing conditions
The one point I wanted to make though is, why on earth would alligning with one of the big US facing sites (ie - FT, Stars) result in ever being black listed from the US? I don"t think merely being associated with a company that has a
very slight possibility of being banned in America at some point in the future would result of being somehow blacklisted. In reality, if online poker ever gets legalised in the US, Stars and Full Tilt will just pay massive fines and be let back in. I never realised America was even on the agenda yet but if it is then alligning with a US facing site would actually be a good thing for APAT - at least in the forseable future.
There is one significant negotiation still taking place and I hope to have a clear position on that later this week.
