Well thats the point isn't it - it seems as though everyone and their mother is putting up a web site - now is the time to pick the winners - and I think that will come down to the business plan and the people behind the plan - I have no doubt that SNMM will be a winner (I'v been in since 1.00 and see it as my retirement) but if TTLN have these serious backers behind them that gives them a bigger edge in dealing with local regulations - do you honestly believe that the Japanese or Chinese/HK governments are simply going to let all the gambling money flow offshore to Canada/US - here in Japan I understand the Govt is already examining at senior level how to control they are very scared of losing revenue from what is a highly regulated industry - to say nothing of the worries of those "groups" behind pachinko, motorboat racing -
