Help Save Online Texas Holdem Poker
By Freddie Johnson
If you play texas hold'em or any version of poker for that matter, you probably
know by now the middle of the night BS that the US Government pulled to try
and shut down online texas hold'em poker.
The legislation, "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act", is intended
to stop US citizens from gambling on the internet. It doesn't go after the
players but prohibits payments from bankd and credit-card companies to
off-shore Internet casinos that would be illegal under U.S. law.
The US government can yell and scream about these off-shore texas holdem
and other gambling sites being illegal but they have no jurisdiction whatsoever
when it comes to policing them. US laws just don't apply. So the US
government is trying to get it's own banks to do the dirty work to stop you
from playing texas holdem online. Sure, there are drug dealers and murderers
running lose, but clearly you playing texas holdem online, that's the real
danger to the ordinary citizen.
PartyPoker, the largest online texas holdem poker site around, has already
abandoned the US market because of this new legislation. So has Paradise
Poker, another of the largest online texas holdem sites. This has displaced
millions of American poker players, most of whom will just give up playing
because it's become too difficult. It looks like the 2007 World Series of
Poker will have fewer poker players than the previous year for the first
time since online texas holdem poker began.
I believe this new law is unjust and, ultimately, unenforceable. But it is
currently making things very difficult, both for the poker sites and the
ordinary online texas holdem poker player.
