Poker Players Alliance Bashes Poker Agency
The online gambling licensing agency Kahnawake got a stern talking too from one of the largest poker advocacy organizations on the planet recently when the Poker Players Alliance came out against the agency about their reticence in working with PPA. The PPA, a grassroots organization determined to protect poker players’ interests, spoke out against the infamous cheating allegations brought against two major online poker rooms and the regulatory industry’s lack of control on the issue. Both sites are licensees of Kahnawake, which was refused entry to the Advertising Standards Authority in Great Britain.
