The grassroots organization known as the Poker Players Alliance attempted to gather support to defeat the UIGEA but failed. The PPA looked for an exemption for online poker to be added to the UIGEA. Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) did not even entertain the idea, despite the persuasive attempts of PPA Chairman Alfonse D’Amato, a former colleague of Kyl’s. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. (UIGEA) applies to all forms of online gambling, and the PPA had hoped to have online poker excluded. Senator Jon Kyl appears determined to see the UIGEA go forward as written.
