Reasonable Regulatory Matrix.

[DeadMoneyDad]

I know its way too soon for the PPA, the industry, or any of us to "show our cards" in terms of a final deal on this issue but there seems to be some confusion about what regulations are absolutely necessary.

South Africa recently passed a bill 180 degrees from the US position. In the BW discussion it seems NZ and Australia approach this issue from the same position.

From the PPA Mission Statement:

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) is a non-profit membership organization comprised of online and offline poker players. Our membership consists of enthusiasts from around the United States who have joined together to speak with one voice to promote the game, ensure its integrity and protect the right to play poker.

The PPA’s mission is to guarantee poker players a secure, safe and regulated place to play. Through education and awareness the PPA will keep this game of skill, one of America’s oldest recreational activities, free from egregious government intervention and misguided laws.

There seems to be some value to hashing some of this out among ourselves. As well as keeping this issue out of threads where we are trying to accomplish other matters.
