Poker players - We need your support - The Punters Lounge

yorkrap · 04-05-2007, 12:55

The UKPCA (www.ukpca.co.uk) have a petition on the No 10 website to allow poker to be a subscribed game under the 2005 Gaming Act. We need as many signatures as possible to try to impress on the DCMS the importance of allowing regulated poker to be played outside of a casino environment. You only need to look at the recent Dusk Till Dawn scenario to see how vindictive the casinos are - even though DTD only wanted to play poker and not any of the "house" games three casino groups lodged an application to stop DTD opening for another 6 months at least. We want to be regulated and we need poker to be "prescribed" under the 2005 Act. Please sign up and help us and email this link to as many poker players as you have in your address book.
The petition can be found at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Poker-UK/

Thank You
Geoff Owen

If more than half the signatories are PLers, does that mean we get a seat in
Parliament?

Would sign, but a non UK resident. Looking through the names though, there is a "David Ulliot" who has signed, this is not, the Devilfish is it?

Norfolk Enchance · 04-05-2007, 20:42
