PPA To Focus On State-Level Efforts In 2013Grassroots Lobbying Group Shifting Focus This Year |
|
After the feds failed to act on the issue of online gaming in 2012, many in the industry will now focus on state-level efforts for online poker sites.
One of those groups is the Poker Players Alliance, who released a statement this week on the shift for 2013. John Pappas, executive director of the grassroots lobbying group, wrote:
“More and more, the fight for Internet poker is moving to the states. In the wake of the Justice Department decision that the Wire Act does not apply to online poker, states are sending strong signals that they intend to push for Internet poker legislation, including California, Massachusetts, Iowa, New York, and Illinois. It is likely that, as state legislatures reconvene in the coming weeks, several more will follow! Thusly, we will be largely focusing our efforts on passing player-friendly bills in the states where legislative action is brewing.”
