Bill Introduced To Legalize And Regulate Internet Poker

New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez has introduced S.3616 the Internet Skill Game Licensing and Control Act. The bill, according to its text, “provides for the licensing of Internet skill game facilities.” The bill, which provides for a full regulatory framework for skill games, is an important piece of legislation and the first introduced in the Senate.

This isn't the first piece of legislation proposed to regulate online poker but given the current economic situation and spiraling national debt combined with the visceral hatred for taxation, now may be the time when the congress takes a serious look at this potential source of revenue.

Online Poker for U.S. Players

PartyPoker, Pokerroom.com and many other established online poker rooms do not accept real money players from the United States. Since their withdrawal from the U.S. market others have moved in to fill the void. The leading online poker rooms still accepting real money players based in the USA are now Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars. Other online poker sites that still allow American players are Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet Poker. A good site for the latest news about online poker for US Players is www.poker-bonus-review.com.

A new entry into the U.S. Market is Duplicate Poker. Duplicate Poker claims to be a legal skill game and not a game of chance. The way they make this claim is by removing the element of luck from determining the success of a player. At Duplicate Poker the success of each player at a table is measured against another player at another table. The two tables are dealt the same cards so at Duplicate Poker you are trying to outperform another player that has the same cards as you. It sounds complicated but for the player the experience is the same as any other Texas Holdem game. They offer free tables and will fund your real money account with $5 just for opening a free account.
