Taking Some Action

Online casino gamblers all over the US are encouraged to take up the cause this week and phone their government about the pending implementation of the flawed UIGEA regulations. The Poker Players Alliance is one of the most politically active pro-internet poker groups in the US and the Alliance has made headline s in the past two years over the UIGEA. The latest call to action from the PPA comes in reaction to recent efforts by members of the Bush Administration to push the UIGEA through into fruition despite the fact that the regulations are still largely flawed, there is no telling if they will actually have the desired effect on the offshore online casinos, and they regulations (in their present drafted form) have the ability to further topple the US financial system.

The whole problem came about in earnest when president-elect Barack Obama won the US election. Now all of the Republicans who are in office are worried that Democratic control over all of the branches will negate the impact of the UIGEA. And honestly, there is room to be concerned for those who are anti online casino gambling. Although Obama’s platform has not specifically weighed in on the subject, there is every indication that the new government change could also herald the welcome change that the online casinos have been awaiting.

All of that though could hang on the ledge if the US Federal Reserve and members of the Bush Administration push the new regulations through prior to the transition to a Democrat controlled government. The PPA outlines steps that supporters of the online casino and internet poker industry can take to both call and write letters to their government in protest.
