Poker lovers united

An important initiative has started up and I think it is important for all of the true fans of poker to be made aware of it. It is poker lovers united.

Poker lovers united is an online petition to address the unfairly high charges levied by online poker sites around the world. All of the online poker websites charge in the region of 5% for each and every poker hand/pot/rake, which results in substantial charges for the players over an evening of poker. Most of these charges are levied without clearly informing the players.

With enough people on board for this petition, we can put pressure on the legislative authorities to enforce a fairer policy within their legislations, which in turn will ensure that none of the online poker websites can charge their users the rates they charge currently.



We will gather more strength by involving the local and regional consumer protection organisations in this movement.

I encourage all my readers to go to the site and get on board. Fill out the petition and stay informed. POKER needs your support.
