  | Online Gamblers Respond to Online Gambling Act The resumption of the US Senate’s activities after a three week recess means that the online gambling bill already passed in the US House of Representatives will be dealt with in the near future. In response to the proposed bill, a certain online gambling site that specializes in poker had organized a phone-in in order to protest the bill. The Internet Gambling Act that was passed in the US House of Representatives earlier in the summer, in addition to recent arrests of online gambling executives Peter Dicks and David Carruthers, has placed a very real threat on the future of online gambling. The sponsors of this “phone march”, which concentrated over a specific amount of hours on a specific day, wanted the voice of those in the online gambling community to be heard. Therefore the online gambling site in question has joined the Poker Players Alliance in order to lobby senators in Washington regarding the online gambling ban. The president of the online gambling site behind the phone march, Cal Spears, commented that if the day will brings a rainfall of calls then showing disapproval regarding the legislation, then "we will send a clear signal to the Senate that America does not support banning internet gambling and online poker.”The online gambling community offered the opportunity to be connected to the offices of their senators in order to voice their opinion regarding the online gambling ban. The call is toll free. The online gambling site in question has over 18 000 members and offers poker news as well as gaming. Back |
