    Not to Bodog or Carbon. They are still very low. I thought there were hundreds of thousands of US players looking for games. Even if it's a fraction of that amount regularly There is nowhere near that amount on Carbon or Bodog. What's up???

    Cake network, Merge Network, Bodog, a few others. Some moved out of the US to play, and of course A LOT of increase in live casinos. As for the rest, a big chunk of players are simply displaced right now, waiting to see what happens, etc.

    I am assuming that a very large portion of the regs feel this way

    there has been an increase at bodog for sure. I dont know about the other sites but I'm guessing bodog increased by 20% or so based on the feild size. Live casinos are kicking as well. The people who tried to log into thier account after black friday, only to find the FBI and DOJ logos, might need a little time to get over that.

    A lot of players are waiting on Cashouts from Tilt/stars/UB. Traffic on Merge, Cake, Bodog, and Everleaf have picked up some. A few moved and some decided to play Live for the time being.

    There still seems to be a lot of sign ups taking place. I would expect the traffic increases on these Networks over the next month atleast while players receive their Cashouts and others decide that its "ok" to deposit.
