Engineer, perhaps, on occasion, you could post ITT what it is the PPA is actually supporting these days.

Te easy links might lead to us understanding what is going on, but many of us are leery about external links and by posting the current PPA goals, we get to make more informed decisions.

 

[grramps]

agree,but

I sent e-mail to Obama the charmer but have little hope it will do any good since the reason for banning it was that in certain organizations the cash flow was being used to launder illegal money. since poker is allowed in casinos and other countries world wide.it would seem to me the best way to get it back is to challenge the laws constitutions legality .to punish a huge group of people for the criminal action of other is not what our ceramal justice was made to do petition supreme court for a ruling I would think is the best way to go. but we must keep going on all fronts. jerry

PPA supports legislation to authorize online poker at the state and federal level. We have endorsed the New Jersey legislation, for one. PPA also supports legislation expanding B&M poker.

I assume you knew that. Do you have a specific question?

We had opponents list money laundering as one of the many reasons they came up with to justify trying to ban online poker. I've not heard of any real objections to state or federal legislation based on this quasi-concern.

Do you have a specific question?

OK, what methodologies does the PPA support regarding ID verification?

(I have more, but let's take em one at a time).

(I have more, but let's take em one at a time).

PPA supports "best in breed" available technologies. We don't endorse specific means for accomplishing this (i.e., PPA doesn't test technologies), but we lobby for legislation to mandate tough requirements in this area.

Has the PPA crafted any proposed legislation, or has it mainly been supportive of others efforts?

 

[gotchips]

done they really need to get online gaming back to the US citizens.. after all we are supposed to be a free country..

 

[TheEngineer]

Has the PPA crafted any proposed legislation, or has it mainly been supportive of others efforts?

PPA has lobbyists on the Hill and has worked with lawmakers on all the bills proposed, including providing recommendations on what to include and how to word it.

I have this peculiar notion it seems.

I am of the opinion that from a Pro-Biz POV, any regulation at any level (State or Fed) should be concerned with consumer protection.

So addressing things like the fairness of the game (from Bots to RNG's), proper ID verifications, proper banking procedures, a tax structure that does not penalize and a few other issues, should be all that is necessary to get the job done.

Any legislation that describes who can provide the games, under what circumstances, to me stinks of cronyism. If the framework of how the games are provided is the primary focus of legislation, and that legislation can focus on consumer protections, then the rest will sort itself out. Business competition will be brisk and beneficial to we, the consumers.

Yes, I am being redundant.

Nevada is like that with B&M gaming. Unfortunately, every other state that brought in gaming did so for tax revenue, so they traded taxes for limited competition. Sadly, gaming companies are often the biggest opponents to new gaming.

I wish the system were different, but that's how it is right now.
