The Poker Player’s Alliance (PPA) â€â€¦ is a nonprofit membership organization comprised of poker players and enthusiasts from around the United States who have joined together to speak with one voice to promote the game, ensure its integrity, and, most importantly, to protect poker players’ rights.
You can help this month by getting out to the local events in your area where your reps are out among the public and let them know your views on online poker. The PPA has published an article that outlines some of the ways for you to do this, and provides talking points on their homepage for you to use in your conversation.
Non-US players — Save the date for this event at Dream Poker. More details to follow in future posts.
Of course, there are always freerolls that any player from any location can take part in… my recommended poker sites for freerolls are Full Tilt Poker, Ultimatebet, Poker Stars, and Intertops.
The Federal Reserve Board has been named in an action to challenge implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. The action was filed by the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association, Inc. in June of 2007, and is tentatively scheduled to be heard in September.

EcoCard will cease allowing its e-wallet to be used by US customers for online gaming transactions near the end of August. I suggest that all US players make a withdrawal of all funds in their EcoCard accounts by August 20 — just as a precaution against something akin to the NETeller problems that we all just had to go through.
eWalletXpress is an e-wallet available to US players. And here are a variety of sites that accept this e-wallet and that accept US players from all states.
- Bingo: World Bingo Club – 200% bonus on your 1st deposit over $20 (no max)
- Casino: Superior Casino – 100% bonus on your 1st deposit between $25 and $250
- Poker: Rumble Poker – 100% bonus on your 1st deposit between $50 and $100
- Sportsbook: USDBETÂ – Use bonus code OCGDMEDL to claim an exclusive bonus
If you have not already requested a payout from NETELLER, go ahead and do it. I requested mine, and two days later, I got my money. Woo Hoo! This ends a months-long struggle for US customers to be paid the funds that they were due.
