Exclamation VERY IMPORTANT PPA! It affects us all.

Full Tilt Poker would like to encourage all players to join us and the Poker Players Alliance in supporting an important vote in the United States Congress that will positively impact your ability to enjoy poker online.

In the coming weeks, the House Financial Services Committee will vote on H.R. 2267, the Internet Gambling, Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act. This bill will secure your rights to play online poker in the United States.

Your member of Congress serves on this committee and will vote on this bill.

You can show your support in this matter by contacting your member of Congress through www.fulltilt.standupforpoker.com. This website provides you with three ways to contact your Representative and urge their support for H.R. 2267.

In less than 30 seconds you can email, tweet or call your member of Congress and ask them to support your right to play online poker by voting for this bill.

Thank you for your consideration

It might be best to contact your reps directly rather than via online petition or do both.

Keep your eye on the ball as the govt might decide to charge a cofiscatory rate on winnings; even if your gai is under $250,000.

ya my fear is the fees if they were to regulate it they will try to take like 50% of winnings and at that rate there would be no point to play poker
