Poker Players Alliance Applauds Chairman Frank on Introducing Sensible Internet Gambling Bill
WASHINGTON, April 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Poker Players Alliance (PPA), a grassroots organization of more than 400,000 poker-playing members, supports House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank’s introduction of sensible Internet gambling legislation.
“Congressman Frank’s bill is a common sense approach to Internet gambling,” said Senator Alfonse D’Amato, PPA Chairman of the Board. “Licensing and regulation will allow us to sort out the most responsible sites — those who are good corporate citizens — from those engaged in unscrupulous activities and practices. This legislation creates common sense public policy that establishes real safeguards, protecting minors and problem gamblers while allowing the majority of adults to enjoy poker and other games online.”
