WHO IS THE POKER PLAYERS ALLIANCE?
The Poker Players Alliance is a nonprofit membership organization comprised of poker players and enthusiasts from around the United States who have joined together to speak with one voice to promote the game, ensure its integrity, and, most importantly, to protect poker players' rights.
WHO SUPPORTS THE POKER PLAYERS ALLIANCE?
The Poker Players Alliance depends on the support of poker enthusiasts to succeed and accomplish our mission. Our supporters share our goal to guarantee players a secure, safe, and regulated place to play. Together, we can promote the game and keep this recreational activity free from unreasonable government intervention.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN THE POKER PLAYERS ALLIANCE?
The government is threatening to take away our right to play poker online, at home, in bars or taverns, and even at charity events across the country. The federal government and several states are seeking to enact laws that will negatively impact our ability to enjoy poker as we do today.
The Poker Players Alliance is committed to defending our rights as poker players. On your behalf, we will promote and protect poker through advocacy work in Washington, D.C., and throughout the nation. The Poker Players Alliance will represent our rights as poker players and provide thoughtful legislation to protect the game.
But we can't do this alone. The Poker Players Alliance needs you to join with us to strengthen our voice. Together we can educate our lawmakers, fight prohibitory legislation, and DEMAND the protections necessary to guarantee our freedom to enjoy poker at the tables and online.
Our goal is to organize poker players to impact public policy and convince legislators to protect the American tradition embodied in the game of poker. The Poker Players Alliance is not only interested in raising money to support advocacy, we're also committed to empowering our members to communicate their views to elected officials.
