PPA reacts to reports that Internet poker legislation will not be treated in 2012
“It is an extremely disappointing end to a year where tremendous progress was made. I am most upset for the players, who have been calling on Congress for years to pass an Internet poker law that protects consumers, restores their freedoms and raises revenue. While I don’t think these voices have fallen on deaf ears, I am discouraged that Congress could not coalesce around a solution in the wake of the ongoing fiscal cliff crisis.”
“I hope all the stakeholders can put finger pointing aside, learn from this year’s failure, and begin the fight anew for 2013. We are pleased that Senator Reid intends to push again in early 2013 and we will fight with him, but we are mindful that many states will move forward next year and the PPA must be at the forefront of those efforts as well,” concluded Pappas.
