Top names in the poker industry comment on the legalities of online poker on the online streaming TV show “Poker Updates”. Is online poker legal?

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 29, 2004 — Everyday thousands of poker players log on to online sites and test their skills against players from around the world. Meanwhile, legislators in Washington are working day and night to make this activity against the law.

In their latest episode, the streaming poker TV show “Poker Updates” ( http://www.PokerUpdates.com ) examines the governments attempt to disallow advertising and eventually place a prohibition on all Internet gaming, including online poker.

Emotions flared when producer and host Eric Rosenberg posed the issue to top industry leaders. “This is a very important topic. It was no surprise to me to see many of the biggest names in the business get fired up about it”, said Rosenberg.

Featured in the story are World Series of Poker Media Director Nolan Dala, World Poker Tour Host Mike Sexton, Professional Poker Player Annie Duke, and more.
