PKR Players Support Internet Poker Regulation

Most, if not all players are familiar with the recent US online poker ban. I'm guess that that this has to do with a majority in favor of regulating online poker. A poll conducted from YouGov and PKR poker show that 63% of the respondents were in favor of the regulation.

If it were to come down to a poker ban or regulation, I think almost everyone would vote for it. Unfortunately, online poker is becoming less accepted across the world, a huge impact being the US. The US recently started enforcing the online gambling ban, but it has actually been illegal for quite some time.

Online gambling was illegal in the United States all the back since the 1960s. Since it wasn't being enforced, not many even know that it was illegal. PKR is one of the poker rooms that has chosen to stay out of the US market. So far, it doesn't seem like it has cost them very much, as they are growing very fast.

It was also noted that if poker rooms start to regulate, then more people will feel comfortable with their money in the poker rooms' hand. This would ultimately result in more players from more countries.
