This channel is brought to you by MeTee T-Shirts: T-shirt design in seconds & always free shipping. – Wednesday August 10 2011 9:33 pm www.msnbc.msn.com The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) is an American nonprofit Interest group formed ‘to speak with one voice to promote poker, and to protect the players’ rights.’ The PPA formed to serve as an advocacy group to Washington to establish rights and protections for US poker players. Within the first year of its existence, the PPA garnered over 600000 members. In April 2008, the PPA claimed to have signed up its one millionth member. Membership growth has been due in part to promotional activities by online poker cardrooms like Party Poker. This organization unsuccessfully lobbied against the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, which prohibited financial institutions from making payments to internet gambling sites. Many online poker sites suspended US operations. Other sites have continued to serve US customers, citing legal opinions that UIGEA does not apply to poker. – Like/Dislike, Comment, Favorite and share on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ share to get the word out on this video.
