Important online poker vote coming Tuesday

The United State Congress will vote Tuesday on the Internet Gambling, Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act, which would secure your rights to play online poker.

Passing this bill is the first step to undoing the Unlawful Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act that prevents banks from transferring gambling funds to and from online poker sites.

The Poker Player’s Alliance has created a website called StandUpForPoker.com, which allows you to easily contact your local congressman.

Tuesday’s vote will drastically alter the fate of your ability to play online poker in the future.
