As the boundaries of online poker change with the times, Card Player Media wants to make sure that everyone involved in the industry, including players, are aware of sweeping changes that upcoming governmental legislation might bring to the game.
With the re-introduction of the “Internet Gambling Prohibition Act” by US Congressmen Rick Boucher (R-VA) and Bob Goodlatte (D-VA), online poker is once again under attack from legislators who don’t believe online poker should be considered legal.

Led by Card Player Media’s general council and expert in online gaming legislation, Allyn Shulman, Card Player has dedicated its resources to help create national awareness of the online poker laws that are being heatedly debated. Shulman, an industry insider who testified on the subject during North Dakota’s investigation into the legalization and taxation of online poker sites, believes that the time is right for player’s to make their voices heard.
“Now more than ever, the poker community must come together and provide guidance for our government. Previous laws are antiquated and today’s leaders must change with the times. The more poker fans and players that get involved in the campaign to keep online poker legal, the more pressure our government representatives will feel. It’s time our voices were heard,” Shulman said
In addition to Shulman’s upcoming series of articles on the comprehensive analysis of the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act for Card Player magazine and CardPlayer.com, Card Player is encouraging players and fans to register online and make their voices heard at www.cardplayer.com/savepoker
