New York prohibits the holding of poker tournaments, even free

It will start very strong! On the continent of freedom, no poker because of Mr. Bush, but: the colts galore yes, the death penalty in some states yes, the bullshit Sarah Paulin about abortion and the homosexuality yes, the global financial crisis following the lack of controls by the U.S. State yes, the Scientology religion and considered by Tom Cruise adulee yes ... but poker, gambling flagship of the continent ... no!

Mister Bush prefers to address the legislation games that citizens of his country according to the last election. More with his stupid law. But Zorro Obama is finally here, but what it will lay him ...? At first it seems cool ... it plays poker him. Bush carpets, Obama, welcome.

There are times when we wondered why some countries, some people, some states like New York, bent as to ban a game as wonderful as poker. The reasons are diverse and most of the time, they are still without foundation. Everyone knows that poker is for the United States that Mah-jong is for China. But it turns out that for some time, poker has become a victim of a major campaign to denigrate and even in the United States where this game and its fans ought to enjoy a perfect freedom.

If poker online, as well as all other online gambling, the introduction of the Act UIGEA reduced spaces Thursday Americans, is that the State of New York also prohibit the organization of poker tournaments in all possible forms on its territory. This measure is now applied even for free tournaments that players do no registration fee.

What has outraged the companies organizing these types of competitions believing that such provisions are improper applications of the law that governs this state and which states that the game, including poker, leads players to build something of value, which is most often the money, hoping to see win something of value. As part of the companies affected by this law, Free Poker Experience has raised the tone by calling simply New York State to repeal this law that threatens its business.

Given the modus operandi of these companies are hosting free poker tournaments, one can not but be amazed when you actually see that their activities have been put in the same basket as those charged. Those people who are honest money should be in any case lack the organizations of these competitions, and players can not in any way feel to be a victim of deception on the part of those companies, because they do not pay any money when they join the parties.

The principle of these competitions, which by their free character might even be regarded as mere appearances, so we wondered how the authorities in New York could be mistaken on their compliance.

Indeed, the organizers bring in alliance with establishments such as bars time to become an evening a small casino. The only difference with the houses of ordinary games, is that players pay nothing outside of consumption and will be about money when they should ask their additions to the bar owner when they decide their voluntarily leave the place.

Theoretically, U.S. law allows the organization to a private party poker, which is nothing different from a tournament as the number of players, provided that participants have a social bond and that the organization does receive any additional income as a fee. But the complexity of administrative structures that U.S. statements may also establish rules which are applicable only on their territories as just carry the state of New York.

Even if the bars do pay the players their consumption, not earning anything from what they normally receive in the exercise of their functions, and even if we know the friendliness that exists within these institutions, demonstrating the social bond that binds those who attend and who by dint of sharing a good bottle eventually be friends, these poker tournaments will still cease to exist in New York.

One wonders how the authorities of this state will react if the newly elected president again organized a party at home, in a statement which expressed its side and its principles. How Obama will make this law as it has never concealed his participation in parts of poker in his moments?

In the end, could include the ban competitions and parties that are really appeal to players of dollars, although in a country as free as the United States, it is already verging on the ridiculous, but then to prevent the organization a meeting free with a drink with friends, could only be on the side of organizers. Unfortunately, the American bars brothel, which were previously receptive to these tournaments, had to reject them for fear of being stripped of their license.

And even if they relate their players a good turnover, the game is no longer the candle. If Free Poker Experience will be rejected his request and that the ban is maintained, bars New York will only contemplate the success of their Irish and English where the practice seems to make a fortune.
