 Things are heating up in all aspects of poker legality these days, it seems. As in the public forums they fight for new bills, the banks continue to ban FirePay-style quick access to money, and in home games they continue to bust down on even the smallest of local ring games, as happened against most recently in a series of raids on home games in South Carolina. |

It never gets old does it? Well, it’s going to take a lot of boatshaking and fistpumping before this little old Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) just goes away. It’s going to take a lot of searing news rants and people getting involved before we’re allowed to play cards online freely in this country. Fortunately, there are some level-headed chaps left in the government who are willing to stand up, ie: Congressmen Barney Frank, Ron Paul, Luis Gutierrez and Peter King, who this week sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson expressing their trouble with the maligned bill. |

 There was a good amount of talk a couple of years ago about a small group of professional poker players—including Chris Ferguson, Andrew Bloch, Annie Duke, Phil Gordon, and Howard Lederer—had filed a federal lawsuit against the WPT Enterprises Inc., the company behind the legendary World Poker Tour. After the players announced this suit at the 2006 WSOP, the subject kind of dropped off the map, but now there’s been an announcement that the suit has been settled, and the WPT player release (the culprit behind the squabble) has now been edited to affect future snafus. |

 We heard a couple weeks ago about how a prospective study into the ‘luck vs. skill’ debate that seems to be dictating so much of the fate of online poker had been proposed in the state of California and could potentially shed some light on the different between the two camps in the poker world. Thankfully now, the bill that would make that study a reality has been sent forward in the California Assembly Governmental Organization Committee (AGOC) by a unanimous vote to bring the bill before the California Assembly Appropriations Committee. |

 PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker have been in pretty deep battle over the past few years trying to sign a more celebrated roster of poker players. From PokerStars inking each World Series of Poker main event champion immediately after they win the title, to Full Tilt picking up almost every major ‘name’ player you can think of that doesn’t have their own pet project, you’ve got a pretty big variety of names trying to tug you to one site or the other. This past week, PokerStars added two new members to their roster: the on-fire Gavin Griffin and long time pro and actor Chad Brown. |
