Legal Poker Sites In The US

Poker sites have been legalized in many states of US, but it is still a long way to go when all fifty states will have legalized online poker rooms.


Till now there are selected online sites that have made it legal for one to play online poker in the country. Indeed, from 2011 the situation has changed greatly. At such a time there was little regulation of online gaming activities and spurious sites that promised a lot and delivered nothing. Today that is no longer the case as most sites are reputed and reliable.

Even if one does not stay at a state that has legal online poker sites, there are still possibilities to explore. Here are some sites that allow citizens of other states to play and earn as well and are legal entities. (more…)

He has several claims to fame. For instance, he has claimed his stake to a world champion title. He has won the World Series of Poker bracelet several times. Having been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame and become a bestselling author as per New York Times, he has now added a new feather to his cap of accomplishments. Phil Hellmuth Jr. has now taken up the new challenge of being an autobiographer.

This new challenge should not be too hard for him as he has penned several weeks’ articles, even hundreds over a decade. He has become a columnist of the syndicated category. With many poker books under his credit as well as the bestseller Play Poker Like the Pros, he is definitely no stranger as to how to pen another book.

Alberta regulators to allow poker event recording

Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission has made a surprising revisal to their Casino Terms & Conditions and Operating terms earlier this week. Now, this is possible for poker events to be shot for video broadcasting. Once, it stated that poker tournaments cannot be recorded or filmed. But now it has come with a new amendment. It says that with prior approval from Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission, one can record a poker event. The license holder should submit a media plan.
The legal aspects of shooting poker events have been a point of discussion for the Alberta poker community. The tournament series throughout the nation as well as abroad use video reportage to raise the cachet of their tournament, and this has not been possible in Alberta in recent times.
The significance of televised reportage of tournament poker could not be understood. This was this invention by Steve Lipscomb as well as his creation of World Poker Tour along with Linda Johnson, Lyle Berman and Mike Sexton that put poker in the living room of all people.
It paved the path for the poker boom out. Without that base of televised event, the World Series of Poker win of Chris Moneymaker in 2003 would not have stirred up the agitation of viewers at home to the flood to poker tournaments as well as online poker sites in droves.
