Friday, 15 April 2011 15:52

Former Senator Alfonse D’Amato, Chairman of the Poker Players Alliance (PPA), the leading poker grassroots advocacy group with more than one million members nationwide, issued the comment below on today’s announcement on federal action taken against online poker companies.

“On behalf of the millions of poker players across the country, we are shocked at the action taken by the U.S. Department of Justice today against online poker companies and will continue to fight for Americans’ right to participate in the game they enjoy. Online poker is not a crime and should not be treated as such. We are currently gathering all of the information around today’s announcement and will offer detailed analysis when the full facts become available.”

Why is the goverment spending money on this action, when it can not even take of our own citizens. I don't want the goverment telling me what I can or can not play on line.

It is okay to say we are shocked, but shouldn't these poker rooms have abided by the laws, other companies pulled out and I think that they shouldv'e worked with the government to find a solution, after all it wasn't the fact that online poker was made illegal it was the fact that taking the money out of the states was. Lets hope there is a quick solution to all this
