In the context of recent signatures are waiting for the Treaty of Lisbon which pretends to the European Union, the gaming community gaming has launched an online petition.

The treaty includes the “Citizens Initiative“, indicating that a petition of one million signatures can force the Parliament of the European Union to decide on a particular issue. In terms of gambling national governments require citizens to use the services of state enterprises by violating one of the fundamental rights of citizens – the free market regardless of the country where the citizen.

The petition was initiated in a context where the issue of gambling online has re-emerged in the policy of the two largest economies in continental Europe: France and Germany. The new government in Germany is likely to include the German liberal party FDP into a coalition with the CDU, Angela Merkel. The parties have declared that reform of current laws of the country was a priority.

La France, by contrast, has developed its new bill gambling online and preparations are underway for its adoption. Preparations for the reform have also been made in other major European markets like Italy and Spain, although the smaller countries (like Portugal and the Netherlands) have refused to change their current attitudes toward online casinos and sports bettin and prefer the continued domination of their own monopolies.

America and Canada have the same restrictive regulations regarding gambling and the petition. After all, deregulation in Europe would intensify pressure on other politicians to follow their example.

David Round, the British pro poker triumphed at France’s Poker Open club poker Dust Till Dawn in Nottingham this week, gaining 208 and 367 pounds beating Michael Turenic Team Full Tilt pro in a heads-up difficult . This was the greatest victory of La Ronde far eclipsing the $ 116 and some that won last month by finishing second step GUKPT Luton.

Both players fought through a selection of players including Eric Liu, the CardRunners pro, Annette Obrestad Betfair, Texas Dolly Brunson, EPT champion Mark Goodwin and Liv Boeree who all arrived at the heads up.

Turenic, a Swede, won a prize from a height of 121 815 pounds for second place.

The New Jersey Democrat Robert Menendez has introduced in the U.S. Senate a new bill that seeks to legalize and regulate Internet poker. “To amend title 31, Code of the United States to ensure the licensing by Treasurer of Internet poker and other games that rely primarily on skills, to ensure protection of consumers on the Internet, apply to the tax code, and for other purposes, “begins the bill.

The bill would establish a new regulatory framework for Internet poker in the United States, and would also establish certain consumer protections such as age restrictions. Officially called S.8309, the Control Act, consumer protection and enforcement of Internet poker and games of skill has been introduced today.

Regardless of the success encountered by the bill, it represents another milestone in the battle for national classify poker gambling game of skill. This movement seeks not only to legalize online poker, but also to change the way it is perceived in popular culture.

This movement has gained a lot of transactions during the past year, with victories in lower courts in states like Pennsylvania, Colorado and South Carolina, with the recent efforts of Representative Barney Frank to legalize and regulate certain sectors of online gaming with its own legislation (which is separate from the bill).

The host of the original gambling destination in the United States, Atlantic City, New Jersey has long had its own internal problems regarding the legality of the game, and has recently had confrontations with the federal government on the issue.

So it makes sense that the author of this new legislation is New Jersey – and a Democrat, the party that seems most open to the idea of online gambling completely legalized. (Although technically enjoys a bipartisan support, the vast majority of supporters of recent efforts to play online Barney Frank were Democrats.)
