Online poker regulatory movement looks to get back on track in the coming months.


After some quiet time, we’re reading and hearing more chatter recently about online poker regulation in the U.S. America.

First, the PPA–who we’ve been very critical of in the past–has done a great job recently in tailoring their language more around the financial benefits ofonline poker regulation. Their latest efforts are focused on outreach to the Congressional Debt Committee and how online poker regulation (specifically, the Barton Bill) would have a positive impact deficit reduction. Read more about it here and take action by voicing your opinions to the repshere.

Regulatory = revenue discussion isn’t just happening at the Fed level, but at the State as well. The New York Times wrote about the latest efforts in D.C., Iowa, and other states looking at online gaming as a revenue stream for their struggling local economies. The State-push is something that Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) in their recent joint letter tried to put the kibosh on, asking for the DoJ to remind States that online gambling is considered illegal at the Federal level (presumably so they can then regulate it at the Federal level).

Meanwhile, Sen. Harry Reid has made public and private statements again about Federal online poker regulation being a priority. Our sources confirm that online poker regulation is something Reid is expressing as a priority this year, and one of his biggest backers, Caesars Entertainment, spent $821,000 in lobbying for it in Q2 of 2011. Our sources also believe that if online poker is regulated, and this is no shocker, that it’ll be the big Nevada casinos who will get a head-start on the competition and receive the first licenses. However, we expect that to be expanded to Indian reservations as well, as their protests played at least a small in the stalling of the Reid BillTM back in December.

Ultimately, how will this all shake out? Well, you know.

About Sickboy:

“Sickboy” emerged from Bristol’s infamous graffiti scene, Sickboy’s humorous works have cemented his place in the upper echelons of the British street art movement. He is one of the first UK artists to use a logo in place of a tag, and his red and yellow street logo known as ‘The Temple’ can be seen on walls and wheelie bins worldwide. A long-serving artist with Pictures on Walls, Sickboy has built up one of the largest bodies of street art works in UK history which has led to him being tipped by the leading financial press as one of the street art movement’s most investable artists. His temples, Save the Youth slogans and audacious stunts – including the caged heart installation dropped outside the Tate Modern last year – have landed him global recognition.

G'day, I'm Madison, but my friends call me Madi. My home is in Sydney, Australia and I love it here. I may look small but I have a huge personality! My favorite things (so far) are people who give me cuddles and tummy rubs, stealing socks, trips to the farm, visits from my brother Leo, hiding in cupboards and under furniture, eating chicken and getting really really dirty! Mum says that soon she's going to take me to the beach and I can't wait! After a hard day of running, playing and generally wreaking havoc, I love to curl up on the couch.

Sydney
Angie says: Sydney was the only survivor of her family, found outside in a storm only a day or two old. I bottle-fed her and have loved her since then. She's the happiest, sweetest cat I ever met. She loves running around like a fool and playing with my older cat, Rose. She is such a pleasure and puts the biggest smile on my face every day!!!

That's Cleopatra on the left side of a wall at a temple at Dendera—one of the few images that bear her name. She is shown fulfilling her role as pharaoh by making offerings to the gods. The appearance here of her son by Julius Caesar is propaganda aimed at strengthening his position as her heir. He was captured and executed shortly after her demise.
