Poker Advertising Catches the Attention of Uncle Sam
| 01 December 2005 |
Online poker sites are garnering attention from the US government in what's being seen as a flagrant display of defiance against advertising restrictions imposed on the online poker industry. The promotion of online poker sites in plain view of the U.S. public has caught Uncle Sam's attention.
According to an article published by the New York Post, the U.S. Justice Department has targeted several prominent media firms for accepting advertising from the online gambling industry -- notably online poker.
Large online poker company's, like the one endorsed by Doyle Brunson -- DoylesRoom.com -- have found clever ways to advertise and surpass the legality issues imposed on the poker industry. The New York Post said that companies like DoylesRoom.com advertise a free poker site, often ending in dot-net and composed of free poker tips, strategies and poker games -- which ultimately prompts visitors to play poker at their real money poker website -- the latter ending in .com.
The poker industry, which is legal elsewhere overseas, has captured the interest of most Americans, and is now one the most popular activities on the internet. As an example, Doyle's Poker Room guarantees over 60 tournaments per day and hosts poker games to thousands of people from around the World everyday. The need for a trip to Vegas, Atlantic City or your local poker room have virtually vanished due to the online pokers' popularity in recent times.
Media companies are finding it more and more difficult to resist the revenue poker company's -- specifically online poker rooms -- bring to the table.
