Will the Attempt to Overturn the 2006 UIGEA be a Success?

Posted by admin under Poker News

The Poker Players’ Alliance (PPA) is looking forward towards the 2006 UIGEA to be overturned. 20,000 letters have been sent to Congress offices since the middle of May. Moreover, they have attended Washington town hall meetings.

Rep. Barney Frank and Rep. Ron Paul represent interests of the Alliance. Rep. Frank’s Bill is supposed to negate the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.

In case of the UIGEA two freedoms are infringed: the ability to do with the money as people see fit and the freedom from government interference with the Internet.
