Yelling Louder for Online Casinos: 2

The PPA has not stopped at the Democratic National Convention however and has also planned a similar charity poker event to coincide with the Republican National Convention occurring this week. The PPA is one million members strong and because the group has such a focused intent – legalizing poker gambling at US online casinos – PPA events receive extensive support and turnout from the PPA members. One of the purposes behind reaching the one-million member mark was so that the group had an advantageous position when lobbying for the legalization of online casino poker.

The PPA is a political action committee with one specific purpose in mind and all of the events and efforts from the PPA center on one purpose – neutralizing the controversial UIGEA which bans offshore online casinos and poker gambling companies from processing financial transactions with US gamblers. The upcoming presidential election is a key event for the PPA – neither candidate has committed to legalizing online casino poker gambling but the PPA is still putting forth efforts within both parties.

The Bush Administration is extremely anti-online casino gambling in any form (part of the reason the UIGEA passed in the first place) and the PPA has high hopes that even if the Republican candidate, John McCain is elected that he will considering initiating legislation to neutralize the effects of the UGIEA. To push the issue further, the PPA has linked legalizing poker gambling to saving the planet with buttons that read “Reduce your carbon footprint. Play online poker.” That coupled with the national coverage of the two charity poker tourneys timed to coincide with the National Conventions has put the PPA and the online casino poker gambling issue into the spotlight.
