South Point Poker - Will be First USA SITE REGULATED

Exclusive: South Point Poker ?will be first real-money site in US?

Casino veteran and CEO Michael Gaughan says operator will have head start of up to three months, with site due to go live in September.


*** YOU WILL HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF NEVADA TO PLAY SO THIS DOESNT APPLY TO 99.8% OF US ***

?Unfortunately [because we are] the first one, the regulator is putting a few more restrictions on us, and wants us to start a little slower than we would like,? explained Gaughan. ?We will conform to their wishes, but at the end of the year it will be in full blown site in Nevada. Then we?ll try and go into the other states where it is legal and do some contracts there.?

South Point has teamed up with a Vegas web entrepreneur Lawrence Vaughan ? CEO and co-founder of employment site jobbi.com ? to produce its new gaming platform, after having encountered problems with previous platform suppler Zen Entertainment.

South Point was the first Nevada casino to launch a free-play poker site in October last year, however Gaughan called it was a ?disappointing? experience, with the site failing to attract the expected player volumes. ?It was with a different company and it just did not work out ? we only picked out around 23-24,000 people and I thought it should?ve done a lot better,? he said. ?It was complicated and hard to download. [The poor results were] partly down to the provider and partly because I lost interest in it when it didn?t grow as fast as I thought it would.?

Yea.. Only if your a resident of Nevada and its not going to be different at all. All the sites use the same RNG its one company that leases the rights out....

This is good for Nevada, or maybe even a start to regulation of online poker. While Nevada is apart of the U.S., it isn't the whole U.S! So I really wouldn't consider it as a full regulation.

that's so effing stupid.....it's only good for Nevade lol....what about every one else??

ummm no ... for now ... they wait just like they have been doing.
------------------

Think of "controversial" issues like medical marijuana and gay marriage. Some states you can some state you cannot.

Good for NV for getting the ball rolling.

good at least something legit in online poker

medical marijuana should be availble everywhere btw

gay marriage... how bout none of that going on.. bleh gross

I am really excited about all the moves they are making in Nevada! This can only lead to bigger and better things for the online community. Rome was not built in a day!

That's because the real-money site isn't up and running yet. That won't be until september.

Its going to be very very very very interesting how this works out for Nevada. Honestly I really dont know how many GRINDERS will pack up and move to Nevada just to play on SouthPoint when the game selection is going to be weaker than Merge and if your grinding for a living your living out of the USA for atleast 6 months out of the year.

I think this is a good first step for the US but honestly there are still just way much that has to be done. This is going to take years for states to figure out unless something happens federally and right now I just dont see that happening. I dont see many ppl flocking to Nevada just to play LEGALLY and pay ridiculous amounts of rake and the taxes will be nuts.

But in hindsight you have to start somewhere and I guess this is a good place to start. Just sucks were never going to see Stars back in the USA market and when we do get something its going to be state by state and small game selection and will never be like it once was, unless something dramatically changes and happens which is a longshot in my eyes.

wow i got to look into this I know South Point is a casino in lv and the is a web site south point poker ill check it out

No estaba ni enterado de esto pues me lo pueden explicar un poco mejor me pueden enviar un mensaje privado para entenderlo mejor muchas gracias desde ya!

i guess its a step in the right direction but i dont think Nevada needs it id rather play live there .

is south point poker own by south park casino cud this be.

Am I missing the point here, or is it a bit silly to open an online poker room in a place where you can play poker in more than 100 venues?

I dont think they are going to get the results they are looking for by only allowing one state. I know its just the beginning of it but its going to show poor numbers which is going to make it look like its not worth it.. I dunno,i have mixed feeling about it and would like to start playing some poker that our gov will allow..
