For the Love of Poker

The fascination with online casinos and internet poker gambling has not waned in the slightest over the past several years that the controversial UIGEA has been in effect. The UIGEA was designed to put a stop to offshore online casino sites accepting and processing transactions from US players – the legislation is largely ineffective, however, and US gamblers have still consistently found a way to access the sites. In fact, the fascination with internet poker goes even beyond playing at the online poker venues and includes watching the pastime on the television. A new US show announced on the G4 cable channel features a season of four internet poker gamblers facing off over the course of the show to win as much as $2 million in winnings throughout the 10 episodes/tourneys.

Poker gambling has been around for decades and the prominence of the game has only surged in the past decade as media and technology advancements have brought the game to even more individuals all over the globe. International championship tournaments and events like the World Series of Poker generate annual excitement for the game of poker in general. Then the online casinos and internet poker sites pick up on the excitement and offer up seats to the WSOP, prize packages and other poker related promotions.

Now, with this new television show, online casino gamblers in the US have a way to tap into the game through a new medium. Although home participation in poker through the TV is not yet possible, the new television program is generating a lot of excitement in the industry and will air in the coming fall television season.
