Ever since the Safe Port Act and accompanying Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was pushed into law last October, various poker sites have stepped up to the plate in order to mobilize players. The Poker Players Alliance has been the primary beneficiary as the online poker industry’s main lobbying force. Recently,
Full Tilt Poker came through in a big way, offering a generous
PPA Bonus to players who join this extremely vital organization. Offering as much as twice a person’s membership level in bonus dollars,
Full Tilt Poker is helping the PPA achieve its goal of obtaining one million members and becoming a powerful organization.
In an e-mail to its existing members, Full Tilt succinctly states how important it is to become a member of the PPA: “While thousands of you have already joined the PPA, the fact remains that we need to do more to help the PPA and its new Chairman, former three-term Senator Al D'Amato, get poker the express exemption it deserves from the UIGEA. A long-term poker enthusiast, D'Amato knows that the first step toward change requires getting Congress to listen. That's why we need to help the PPA mobilize one million poker players in this fight, because a million voices can't be ignored on Capitol Hill.” The PPA currently stands at 160,000 members, which represents significant growth since the beginning of the year.
The PPA bonus is available until Thursday, March 22. To qualify, just make a donation to the PPA by accessing the “Cashier” button from your Full Tilt account. Click on “My Promotions” and then click on the PPA banner that will appear across the top of the page. Make whatever donation you’d like (or just join for free and you'll be entered into a freeroll) and play on Full Tilt in order to clear your associated bonus dollars. The more voices, the better. If you are already a PPA member, you can take advantage of the PPA bonus simply by upgrading your membership. The following chart lists the bonuses and associated PPA membership levels available:
Recently, the PPA brought in additional reinforcement: Alfonse D’Amato, a former Republican Senator from New York. During his nearly 20 years in office, D’Amato served as the head of several prominent Senate committees and brings a unique, tenured edge to the PPA. Bolcerek comments: “Alfonse has, obviously, a very experienced perspective of how to get things done on Capitol Hill. He also has a real passion for poker.” D’Amato’s extensive knowledge and clout on Capitol Hill is a giant leap forward for online poker players everywhere.
Help yourself and the online poker industry before Thursday, March 22, by taking advantage of the PPA bonus offered by Full Tilt. Visit Full Tilt Poker for more details and please check out the PPA website at www.pokerplayersalliance.org.
