Is Online Poker Legal or What?
October 11, 2006
Boy have I been busy here. You may not notice it, but there is tons of stuff going on behind the scenes at Mac Poker Online, especially dealing with legal issues. But don't worry, our legal representation is strong and I've even decided to compile a huge section of this website in order to answer the trivial question, "Is online poker legal?"
Some people may tell you that the United States government has completely banned online poker from being played in the US of A, but that assertion is completely untrue and unprecidented. Ask whoever tells you that to also show you exactly where it says that online poker is against the US law. They can't find anything with such a statement, but what they will find is a new bill that recently passed called the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act. This act was snuck into the Safe Port Bill, which is basically an anti-terrorism bill, by a man named Bill Frist. This corrupt senator underhandedly attached the anti-gambling bill to the Safe Port Bill because its passage was a no brainer. Politicians call this a "rider" and such an act is only done when a bill cannot pass on its own validity.
I don't want to spoil everything for you here, but go to the online poker legal page and read such things as the analysis of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act that just passed through the Senate. You may be surprised at what you read.
