The UKPCA ( www.ukpca.co.uk) have a petition on the No 10 website to allow poker to be a subscribed game under the 2005 Gaming Act. We need as many signatures as possible to try to impress on the DCMS the importance of allowing regulated poker to be played outside of a casino environment. You only need to look at the recent Dusk Till Dawn scenario to see how vindictive the casinos are - even though DTD only wanted to play poker and not any of the "house" games three casino groups lodged an application to stop DTD opening for another 6 months at least. We want to be regulated and we need poker to be "prescribed" under the 2005 Act. Please sign up and help us and email this link to as many poker players as you have in your address book. The petition can be found at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Poker-UK/ Thank You Geoff Owen UKPCA |

Have to say though, whilst the intent behind the petition is honourable, I have my doubts as to what good it will actually serve. The government has whole heartedly taken a somewhat pejorative stance with anyone that subscribes to the notion of poker being anything other than pure luck/gamble!

Will this mean that poker winnings will be taxed?
