Yelling Louder for Online Casinos: 1

The Poker Players Alliance has apparently found a very lucrative format for a poker tournament that serves two purposes – uniting the more than one million members of the PPA while also informing politicians and the nation about the internet gambling issue. According to the PPA and online casino poker gamblers, only a small percentage of the US is against legalizing and regulating the internet poker gambling industry – the only problem is that this small percentage has “yelled louder” in the past, making their objections well known, commented Andy Bloch, a respected poker professional.

Bloch made a very important observation, notably that until the PPA became a powerful lobbying body there were few land and online casino gamblers willing to voice their objection to the current US policies that block offshore gambling companies from accessing the US market. The PPA used the upcoming presidential elections as a prime opportunity to get their voices heard on the issue of poker gambling at US online casinos.

Last week the PPA used the Democratic National Convention as a launching point for discussion on the controversial offshore online casinos ban. The PPA organized a charity poker tournament event in Denver timed to coincide with the DNC and all of the political festivities. Importantly, this internet poker gambling issue not only brought awareness to the issue for politicians, but the national media outlets have picked up the news and have begun to cover the PPA’s extensive efforts regarding legalizing and regulating online poker in the US market.
