Proposed Alliance to lobby government and educate public about poker and online poker

[Tam]

Respect FSL, not many put their hands up for stuff that requires much much work. GL.

There is some type of 'Poker Player Alliance' group with a stall set up in the hall leading to the WSOP poker pits at the Rio. I can't remember what they call themselves exactly but I think they have similar goals to those mentioned here.

Someone else here may know their name/website.

I thought about something like this when the first round of extremely helpful articles/interviews were made public...

As it stands I think the case for it being harmful prevails; this may change however...

I think I actually agree here forming a 'lobbying group' helps make this 'an issue' and when maintaining the status quo is the most desirable outcome it may be better to wait to organise until we know that an undesirable change in legislation is forthcoming

undesirable change in legislation is forthcoming

there is unlikely to be an undesirable change in leg. the legislation is already in place, they may just choose to use it and police it out.



Proactive v reactive....

I would have thought proactive makes more sense...but that is just me.
