The Commerce Casino in California has made it public that they support a ban on federal licensing of online poker. This casino hosts some of the most prestigious poker tournaments in California, and they even host daily poker tournaments for their customers. Many poker players are in disbelief that the Commerce Casino would put their interests ahead of the rights of poker players, and some have even decided to boycott the casino as long as they support the poker ban.

The executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, John Pappas said, “Members of the PPA, and poker players nationwide, are outraged that the Commerce Casino, the largest poker room in the nation, opposes Federal legislation that would protect players’ rights and access to online poker. They are angry and want to make their voices heard.” Poker players are being advised to contact the casino and express their disappointment. If the casino continues to support the federal ban, the PPA may even call on their members to begin boycotting the Commerce Casino.

CPAC 2010 is where most conservative Republicans gather to express their opinions and
beliefs when it comes to conservative issues. It does not seem like the CPAC would be
somewhere that you’d find online gambling or any company that supports online gambling.

Poker Players Alliance (PPA), an organization that defends poker rights had
cosponsored the Conservative Political Action Conference this year. Poker players
are reaching out to conservatives in an effort to protect the online poker industry
from angry politicians that are doing whatever they can to destroy the industry.

As a shock to some, many of the attendees of CPAC were supportive of the PPA’s agenda
and believe that Americans should have the right to play poker. The PPA was prepared for
this years CPAC and provided literature to point why conservatives should support the
poker industry. Poker professional, Greg Raymer was also there to sign autographs.
