PPA poker petition gaining momentum

07.2.2009 | 10:56 am | Casino.co.uk

Though it was only launched just over a week ago at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the Poker Players Alliance’’s (PPA’’s) campaign to legalise online the game in the US seems to be gathering pace.

It is believed that the PPA has already collected almost a quarter of a million signatures for the petition, which has been designed to defend Americans” right to play online poker.

The petition is being circulated as part of the PPA’’s National Poker Week, which runs from July 19th to 15th, and it will be delivered to the US congress at the end of the week to lobby for the ban on online gambling to be lifted.

But with over one million registered members, it seems the PPA can expect to pick up plenty more signatures where the 200,000 collected so far came from.

Especially since US newspaper West Virginia Gazette said the game is now so popular that is it "as American as apple pie".
