KidPoker and the PPA

Daniel Negreanu, nicknamed “KidPoker,” has offered his support to the Poker Players Alliance, a U.S. interest group looking to re-legalize online poker in the United States. The 2006 UIGEA legislation stopped the majority of the online casinos and poker sites from accepting U.S. players – now there are only a handful of sites that offer internet poker gambling to American players. The PPA reached the one million member mark just last month and is hoping to grow that number even further with the support of land and online casino poker profession Negreanu.

Negreanu has teamed up with the PPA to offer PPA members exclusive tips and advice straight from Negreanu – and on a weekly basis to boot. Online casino poker players in the U.S. already registered with the PPA can "simply opt-in and Daniel's always insightful and often humorous poker advice will be delivered by e-mail every week," observes PPA Executive Director Jon Pappas.

The PPA is currently lobbying Congress to either neutralize the UIGEA or at least provide carve-outs in the current legislation that allows forms of online poker. PPA lobbyists assert that internet poker is a skill based game and should therefore be exempt from the U.S. restrictions on the games of chance prevalent at online casinos. The new deal with Negreanu is hoped to entice even more internet poker enthusiasts to the organization; as membership in the PPA grows the organization has more power to sway Congressmen and women to support its cause. Negreanu is actively involved in the international poker gambling industry and has the ability to bring the PPA the needed support and attention from the global poker community.
