Come on Michael, Yahoo is a company and poker brings in theleast with Yahoo, you know some responsible measures will be in place.

The UI is great compared to most other poker sites and say what you want about Yahoo, but it’s a reputable name to the general public.

Their culture, being considerably less religious, believes a lot more in personal freedom and civil liberties than ours does. It would be much more controversial if online poker were legalized in the U.S. and Yahoo started a cardroom here.

If a European loses his mortgage at the poker table, he views it as his cans are much more likely to blame Yahoo for taking advantage of their “disease”, though I like to think that even here most people take responsibility for their own actions and the image to the contrary is largely due to a sample bias caused by sensationalist media.

In response to the Yahoo Online Poker Article.

Controversial Move: In the online poker sphere, Yahoo is not the first US based company to have an initial position against gaming and then introduce it overseas.

Is this move contradictory as well or is it a smart financial action while completely abiding by domestic laws? Back to the discussion that this Yahoo move is controversial, I ask why should it be controversial?Online poker is something that will not go ps with Yahoo in the game, albeit overseas, they will hold their gaming integrity to a higher standard than some other sites and perhaps offer a safer solution forargument shouldn’t be based on if this is right or wrong, that debate will go on for decades, but should be based on how we can develop the most ethical, accountable, and safest system for this poker phenomenon.

Will it Work: Putting all of these socio-political discussions aside, will Yahoo be successful with their efforts; Looking strictly from a business and online poker standpoint?I have mixed thoughts that lean toward the negative. One thing to understand is that this initial platform will ONLY be available to non-US players.

The United States makes up over 80% of the online poker market, so my first major concern is with criticalonline poker, you have to critical mass; a site like Poker Stars has over 60,000 player on at any given moment (and at peak times over 90,000).This allows players to have access to available games at their pleasure. Yahoo may face some major issues here as currently they will only have grabs at 20% of the online poker community, many of which are already are happy with a handful of established rentiation in the online poker sphere is very ing you have software that is of equal quality, and you magically get some players wagering so it’s not a ghost town, attracting new players from others sites is a major challenge.

This may very well be successful, especially if they can target users that are interested in poker but have not yet tried onlineusers may be more likely to lose their online poker virginity to a trusted name like Yahoo.

The online poker market will continue to grow, IMO, not as rapid as it did between 2003 and 2006, but it still is one of the hottest thingsknows, maybe Yahoo will pave the way for a legalized online platform in the Unitedday that comes we will see another explosion in online poker; monumentally bigger than the last five years.

As far as I know Yahoo doesn’t have Affiliate programs as opposed to the leading poker rooms of the online poker market (Pacific Poker, Full Tilt, Party Poker etc).These poker rooms get a lot of money from their affliatesbrings up the question if Yahoo would be able to rely on its brand only and beat its competitors without exploiting the large income from affiliates.

An affiliate program is to be added over the summer; Yahoo will be keen to build a big affiliate network for the poker

S. and Gibraltar, where online gambling are prohibited, are blocked (I tried). The service is provided through a partner, St Minver, but the game play occurs on the Yahoo site.

In 2004, Yahoo and Google announced that they were removing gambling advertising from theirlaunch seems to contradict their position on Internet gambling.

This is an extremely controversial move, and one that Yahoo may not be equipped to n marriages and lost homes will only make the stories juicer.

Come on Michael, Yahoo is a company and poker brings in theleast with Yahoo, you know some responsible measures will be in place.

I lose plenty of fake money on Yahoo.

They should start with the blonde in the picture - as part of the strip poker segment.

Rodney- Manage your Home Poker League

Yahoo got stung back in 2001 when they announced that they would allow partners to sell adult videos and DVDs on Yahoo Shopping.

Maybe they see the different sections of Yahoo in different countries really as such.. feeling they can have a different rulebook for every region.

Never played poker in my life, never plan on playing poker in my life.

Quite frankly, I wish Yahoo would take gambling ads again.

The UI is great compared to most other poker sites and say what you want about Yahoo, but it’s a reputable name to the general public.

Apart from the general moral questions, I guess they can always argue that the site was meant only for British and Irish users. Yahoo may very well plan to block IP addresses based on source.

My money is also on Yahoo coming to grief here.

Pretty important to point out the Google still accepts advertising from Adult Web sites. This is something Yahoo! stopped doing years ago.

Michael, this is a fascinating development but *not* a new wrinkle — Yahoo has been a happy successful licensed online gambling operator in the UK for several years now, with their principal offering Yahoo Bingo.

Regardless, I think the implications for Yahoo’s overall brand will be the same, whether you believe this particular foray will bite them or not.

Yahoo taking my money rather than partypoker ..etc..

A bunch of poker sites banned online players due to some legislation.

If Yahoo! wants to collect taxes on winnings and make large enough contributions to U.S. presidential and congressional officials, it could be running a U.

They are making money giving pleasure themselves and poker-players.

As for Yahoo–from a marketing and PR perspective 1.) dumb, unnecessary move. 2.) will keep PR people busy tho. so it could be a strategy from a consulting partner looking for follow-on work or, 3.)

Do Yahoo or Google take advertising dollars from state lotteries?

Their culture, being considerably less religious, believes a lot more in personal freedom and civil liberties than ours does. It would be much more controversial if online poker were legalized in the U.S. and Yahoo started a cardroom here.

If a European loses his mortgage at the poker table, he views it as his cans are much more likely to blame Yahoo for taking advantage of their “disease”, though I like to think that even here most people take responsibility for their own actions and the image to the contrary is largely due to a sample bias caused by sensationalist media.

All play will be through St Minver as you need all players aggregated through the network all Yahoo do is provide the means to access that network

In response to the Yahoo Online Poker Article.

While the original posting was brief, it opens up discussion for several elements. Having worked with an online-poker related company I am indeed biased, but I have outlined several key perspectives from an attempted impartial standpoint.

Controversial Move: In the online poker sphere, Yahoo is not the first US based company to have an initial position against gaming and then introduce it overseas.

Is this move contradictory as well or is it a smart financial action while completely abiding by domestic laws?
