Poker Players Alliance Begin Advertising Campaign

The Poker Players Alliance has decided to begin an advertising campaign that will be directed at federal lawmakers who are debating the regulation and legalization of online poker and casinos. The ads will be posted in several highly respected political newspapers that are published in the Washington, D.C. area.

The main slogan of the campaign is “No matter how you cut the deck, regulation is the answer.” The Poker Players Alliance uses the ads to focus on the debate surrounding online poker and casinos in the United States—banning and regulation.

The ads also show how the ban has not protected gamblers and how it has hurt personal liberties and created an underground poker black market. The ad comments on how if regulated, billions of tax dollars would be raised while illegal operators would be punished, which would leave the reputable sites functioning in the market.

The ad also comments: “Fortunately, Congress is working to pass legislation that will punish bad actors, guard against player fraud, protect children, and help problem gamblers.” We shall see if the ads have any effect on how legislatures decide to pursue the subject of online gambling.
