Many knew he played, but none are sure how he'll handle the ban G.W.'s crew put into place.

I read in this mornings paper that Obama is basically going to overturn a lot Bush's policies soon as he gets in, on some form of Presidential veto. With any luck online gambling will be on his agenda.

I think that they were probably referring to proposals about stem-cell use and abortion policies which were in the pipeline.

I hope you're right though.

Yeah stem cells and oil drilling are the big ones on the agenda, but hopefully further down the list is online poker.

He should focus on the policies that really matter.

Dear Dawn,

I have unfortunate news to report. Despite the efforts of the poker community, the opposition of the banks and the recent news exposing inappropriate influence by the White House, today the current administration finalized the UIGEA regulations to be made effective on January 19th the day before president-elect Obama officially takes office. A copy of the final UIGEA regulations and the PPA’s response can be found on our Web site.

I am sure that you share my outrage over this last-minute "midnight rulemaking," but I have not lost my drive to correct this injustice and I call on you to join me and the million strong PPA to help continue our fight. In fact, the Politico Newspaper reports on 11/12 that Congressional leaders are already plotting legislation for next year that will undermine the White House's "midnight" regulations. We must make sure that UIGEA is part of this regulation reversal.

There are 4 things you should do to respond to the government's actions:

1. Call your Member of Congress and let him or her know how disappointed you are by the lame duck administration's implementation of UIGEA and subsequent erosion of your personal freedom.

2. Send an email to the Obama Transition team and tell President-elect Obama that once in office he should immediately turn back the UIGEA and other "midnight rules" issued by President Bush.

3. Help the PPA help you. Become a Premium Member of PPA if you are not already. For only $20 you help us be effective advocates for poker and your membership put us in a strong position to defend your rights. If you are already a Premium PPA member please consider making an additional contribution to our fight.

4. Forward this to your friends and stay updated on the latest developments regarding the UIGEA regulations.

This is not the time to bow our heads in defeat; rather we must continue our efforts with renewed vigor. Thank you for your support and dedication to protecting the game we love.

Proud to play,
Alfonse D'Amato, Chairman

It's been 5 months since the attempted US ban on Internet poker, how do you think it's affected the market?
Do you feel games are tougher now?  Whats changed in your opinion.

With rumours of sites merging is it going to lead to less choice for the serious internet player?
How do you feel Internet Poker will change within the next twelve months?



18 months ago Brummieboy posted this. Have you noticed the change over this time? Is it reflected in ur profits? What about the next 18 months???
