The Poker Players Alliance credits player activism as the catalyst for recent gains for online poker in the United States in its latest newsletter.
Rich Muny, vice president of player relations for the PPA, a lobbying group in the U.S. representing poker players and online poker interests, wrote about the topic in the PPA’s latest newsletter. Online poker laws that regulate the industry have passed in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware in the past year, and several other states are considering regulation as well. Before last year, there had been little traction for online poker regulation, with New Jersey and California among the states that previously had failed bids to pass online gaming laws.
