PlayPokerOnline.com Reveals the Positives to Come out of Black Friday
PlayPokerOnline.com discusses the positives to come out of black friday.
August 08, 2011 /Gaming and Casinos PR News/ -- In April this year, the poker industry got a rude shock when three top poker sites were shut down and their operators indicted for having allegedly laundered money. Since then, a few changes - for the better - have taken place in the poker world. With the demand for poker still on the rise, and the demise of the sites in the US market, players who want to play online poker have been forced to demand that online poker be legalized. According to them, if the sites are well regulated and allow them to play in a secure manner, the players' interests will be well protected.
This demand stems from the fact that when the sites lost their ability to accept US players, some players could not even access their accounts, and some lost their money. Even though months have passed since the incident took place, a few players still haven't got back the money they either deposited or won at a particular site. This shows that players' money is not secure with game rooms in a paradigm where the industry is not well regulated. According to a spokesperson from PlayPokerOnline.com, this has been an eye-opener for many players. He added that there is no doubt that legalizing poker will help protect players in the US.
Currently, there is a lot of pressure on the US government to legalize the game, and to allow players to access them online. Several lobbying groups are up in arms to push the government to take steps to make poker legal. FairPlayUSA, one such lobbying group formed recently, is at the forefront of the effort. The group was created in the aftermath of Black Friday. It intends to change the status of online poker in the country from being illegal to a licensed and regulated one.
The group says that the current gambling laws are ambiguous. This has encouraged many players to play poker online at unreliable sites. Now, the group wants the government to offer clarity on the laws. A website and petition form have been developed by the group, to provide those keen on supporting the cause, and even voicing their opinion, with a platform to do so. According to a spokesperson for PlayPokerOnline.com, the group has the potential to provide players with the backing they require in the current situation.
Immediately after Black Friday, the states of Nevada and Iowa took action in an effort to push for online poker legislation. Though it requires the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission to study the impact of online poker on players, the bill received a 38-12 vote. A few other states in the US are considering the option of passing bills legalizing online poker.
