Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act(UIGEA)

Poker Players Alliance header art

 

Dear POKER PLAYER,

In the fight to keep Internet Poker free from undue government regulation, Rep. Jeff Flake - along with 15 other U.S. Representatives - sent a letter to Henry Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury, and Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Governors of the Federal Reserve System, this past December. The joint letter outlines their concerns with the proposed rules to enforce the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which Congress passed in the "dark of night" in 2006. Specifically, their letter asks for clarification of the regulatory guidance surrounding "unlawful Internet gambling" transactions and enforcement.

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) commends these 16 Members of Congress for their attention to this important issue. We ask that you write a short note to your Representative to express appreciation for your Representative's support of Internet poker, and to ask for their continued support for clarifying the UIGEA so that it does not apply to poker and other games of skill. Click here so you can send this important message, we have provided you with a sample constituent letter for you to build your correspondence from. This letter will automatically be emailed to your Representative.

Additionally, you can click here to view the letter these Members of Congress sent Secretary Paulson and Chairman Bernanke.

Here at the PPA we strive to ensure that America's number one game of skill stays legal, safe, and can be enjoyed for years to come! Please take a moment and write to your Congressman today.

Proud to Play Poker,
Alfonse D'Amato, Chairman
Poker Players Alliance
