A deadline of Dec. 1 is looming for rules to go into effect for the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the United States. And the Poker Players Alliance is still doing everything it can to try to delay the federal government’s implementation of the law.
The latest is this video released by the PPA to try to educate online U.S. poker players on the UIGEA and the Dec. 1 deadline. The PPA has announced it is partnering with national horse and dog racing associations in opposition to implementation of the UIGEA. The video also notes that 50 members of Congress have voiced their wariness of the rules going into effect with the Department of the Treasury.
It’s still not 100% clear what the Dec. 1 deadline will mean for online poker in the U.S. The UIGEA forces banks to block certain transactions, but the type of transactions that should be blocked are far from clear. And some banks and financial institutions have already put policies in place to try to make sure that they are in compliance with the UIGEA.
The PPA and some members of Congress are arguing that implementation should be delayed for logistical reasons, claiming that the amount of institutions that would be unable to comply with the rules would essentially render them ineffective.
More on the UIGEA as that Dec. 1 deadline nears.
