Online Casinos and Congress |

Former
Senator Alfonse D’Amato and Former Congressman Toby Moffet
along with Poker Players Alliance Chairman feel that more and
more of their elected officials in Congress are seeing the value
of establishing a safe, regulated market for online casino poker
through the efforts of the Poker Players Alliance and its members.
The Poker Players Alliance is very proud to endorse the candidates
that have been advocates for poker players. These endorsements
were based on whether or not a candidate demonstrated their
support of poker via votes on online poker legislation.
It is a very crucial time for the licensing and regulation
of online casino poker. Internet gambling legislation passed
the House Financial Services Committee this year but the election
could put a stop to poker’s strength on Capitol Hill.
The scary thing for poker enthusiasts at the moment is the
fact that the turnover in the election will shift Capitol Hill
towards the Republicans. It is felt that the Democrats are more
supportive as they voted 34-4 in favor of Barney Frank’s
legislation to license and regulate internet gambling while
Republicans gave 7 yes votes and 18 opposed. Of the candidates
endorsed by Poker Players Alliance 43 were Democrats and 15
were Republicans. It will be interesting see how the new House
of Representatives and the new Senate treat online casino gambling.
