Americans Still Love Online Poker

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

It seems that practically nothing can stop the power and momentum of online casinos within the United States. Even with all of the obstacles that online casino fans find tossed in their way as they attempt to access their favorite sites, they still manage to make it happen on a daily basis. It seems that even though the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act frightened everybody for a while, it has not at all succeeded in keeping casinos and their players from the action.

One area of online casinos within the United States that is still especially strong despite all of the considerable woes that it has faced is the online poker market. This is indeed astonishing because of the horrific threats that casino and poker fans especially have received and the seizures that have taken place as well. Altogether a research company has found that there are still more than 10 million dedicated and active online poker players within the United States.

This is heartening news for casino and poker operators out there who have been worried of late because of the efforts of the government to curb gambling activity of all forms when it comes to online gaming. This number that the research company came out with is more than five times the quantity of players who are intent on still gaming within the United Kingdom, but they still come in a respectable second place.

Next comes the nation of Germany rounding out the third spot for casino and poker gambling dedication. They just beat out the French who have a gambling market online that consists of about 1.3 million players compared to the 1.6 million players that Germany is in possession of.

PokerStars Urges Players To Petition

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

The folks behind the scenes at PokerStars.net have come out with a sensational new campaign effort to show their support for online casinos and poker gaming within the United States. This is in conjunction with the movement that the Poker Players Alliance has tried to wage in response to the stripping of rights of innocent citizens in the name of curbing activity at online casino and poker gambling sites within America. The Poker Players Alliance is not taking this situation lying down and the people from PokerStars.net are giving their players a chance to sign their name to a special petition that will also, incidentally, earn them a spot at a sweet free-roll tournament if they play their cards right.

How it works is that PokerStars will end up hooking any interested player up with free entry into one of their fabulous free-roll casino tournaments if they commit to signing the petition beteen the 27th of June and the 25th of July. The petition is a way of showing support for the legalization, licensing and regulation of online casinos within America.

It is still early in the fight to repeal the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and everyone who is in some way or another invested in the magic and wonder that happens at internet casinos in the United States should take part in this effort to improve the situation for all concerned parties. The petition is going to end up being present to President Barack Obama on the 22nd of July and you better believe that everyone will have their fingers crossed that the president takes heed with what the petition has to say.
