Pros Encourage People to Join PPA
November 04, 2006In mid-October, President Bush signed the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006) into law as part of the Safe Port Act.
After that, a ton of online poker sites dropped US-based players from their member lists. Internet poker has taken a major hit and online poker companies and players in the United States have suffered some serious consequences.
The Poker Players Alliance is currently sending out a letter, endorsed by some of the top players in the game today, asking you to join them. Won't you? The US-based residents of Chicksnchips.com already have!
Here's the text of the letter:
Dear fellow poker player,
