Online Poker Inches Closer to Exemption From Gambling Law
According to the Poker Players Alliance, they are very close to introducing a bill to Congress that would ultimately have online poker exempt from recently passed legislation.
According to the President of the PPA, Michael Bolcherek, he’s spent a good portion of January in Washington, D.C., meeting with lawmakers and others to get support for legislation that would provide a “skill game” exemption for poker.
He hopes to have a bill introduced very soon and then bring to bear the voice of more than 135,000 members of the PPA to push Congress to do the right thing and accept the bill.
He further said that while they are working toward the short-term goal of a poker exemption, the PPA will also be laying the foundation for the eventual U.S. regulation of online poker.
