Did You Know?

I want to educate people to the fact that playing poker is not a crime. Playing poker online is not a crime. It's just like when you go to a casino. Online poker sites operate the same way.

They only operate in countries or places it is legal to do so. So when you download a poker sites software and use it. It is like you are sitting in there casino where it is legal to play. No different then going to any real casino.

I think the confusion most people and players who want to play online poker have is they always here that online poker is illegal in the states and it is.  Right now it is illegal for anyone who wants to own or run an online poker site within the US borders.

Thats why people like me have to go to offshore legal sites to affiliate with instead of one here in the USA.

Recent changes have two states leading the way for casinos to operate online. Las Vegas and New Jersey are leading the fight.

Thats only two states so we all need to pitch in and do our part. We will do our best to keep players informed of whats going on in the poker world and how you can help.  If you have been on the fence about online poker it is time to get off. I want to help new players to not just learn how to play texas holdem poker but also teach them bank roll management, help them with my affiliate sites software, give freerolls to new players and the size games needed for a new player to be able to learn and gain experience at the poker table without risking to many chips.

The best advice I can give is if you want to play online poker or if you want to learn or even start your own poker league for your group we can help. Members can request a game or tournament built to their specifications and we can have your game added to the schedule.

Best of all when you join Team P4AC Poker at Poker4acause.org and play poker online with us at one of our affiliate poker rooms 100% of the money raised from rake and buy in fee's from real money game play and tournaments will go toward P4AC's Veterans House and the P4AC Mission to bring help to those that are not only in need but deserve a litte respect and care. You can help just by playing poker a game so many love to play. So will you join me and my friends as we set off on an adventure to help people through comedy, music and poker. It's gonna be an awesome ride.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope it was informative for some of you.
