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.
