Black Friday in the online gambling industry
Black Friday is a term that has a completely different meaning for webmasters than it does for American shoppers.
It is the day when the US Department of Justice seized the domains of 3 major US facing poker companies: PokerStars, FullTilt Poker and Ultimate Bet/Absolute Poker.
UB and AP don't really exist anymore, FullTilt is crippled and PokerStars somehow survived.
This created many changes for affiliates as many operators left the US markets or somehow went out of business.
Although the process has left many affiliates and players unpaid, this event likely means the road towards legalization of online gambling in America.
