As you all know, Microgaming pulled out of the US market because of the Franklin County (KY) court order allowing the seizure of 141 domain names, all related to internet gaming. Microgaming said it was to difficult to block access to the websites from Kentucky, so decided to just exit the US market. Now that the Court of Appeals have blocked the seizure of the domain names, it should open the door for the return of Microgaming Casino.
As of this post, there has been no comment from Microgaming regarding the court order. Would you support Microgaming should they decide to return to the US? Check the poll.

Hopefully with your new President - we will see some regulation which would help and might well bring back the likes of Microgaming, Playtech etc but I think it would be a long while yet)...
Personally my vote at this point would be 'Yes' - I would support them because I think they were protecting their business for the future and also didn't jump straight into their decision - it was a slow process remember - first it was certain states, then all states for new players..
This is a much bigger topic and I'm more a 'wait and see' person on such things.
It would sure be nice to see Microgaming available to USA players again some time in the future
Thanks for the post

I thought the poll would let microgaming know how much support they can depend on should they decide to come back into the US market.
They left the US New Sign-up Market very suddenly, so you never know, they might come back just as sudden.

So I might wake up one morning, go to my inbox and see a guzillion, guzillions of microgaming emails. Everyone will get so many emails at once that it would cause a catastropic meltdown of the internet. (lol)
Just kidding, or am I

1) If the Non US Market is not enough to sustain their casino's in the future, and realize that the US gambling economy is a force to be reckon with, or 2) If Obama and the democratic congress reverses the Internet Gambling Law and the Kentucky Appeal is upheld.
If by some chance they do re-enter the US market, I feel, (and this is my opinion) that they would have to KISS UP TO OUR BEHINEY"S and pay the piper. They would have to convince ME that they made a mistake and they won't throw us to the curb on the first bump in the road.
That's my opinion and I sticking to it. lol.
