FULL TILT HELPS P.P.A. RECRUITING DRIVE
23 February 2007
Full Tilt bonuses for player who join the Poker Players' Alliance
In a move to boost recruitment for the Poker Players'
Alliance the Full Tilt Poker.com site has informed its
members that they can get up to a thousand dollars in
bonuses if they sign up for the poker advocacy body.
In an email to members, the site encouraged enrolment in
the PPA and suggested that it was time for poker players
to react over the recent crackdown on online gaming
sites by the U.S. Government. The letter, in part,
reads:
“Although many legal scholars would argue that online
poker should not be affected by the UIGEA, we believe
the law's lack of clarity can only harm the game unless
an express exemption is granted under the UIGEA. You
should be outraged that, in a rush to passage, poker did
not receive the objective review it deserves, and did
not already get this express exemption while lotteries,
horse racing, and fantasy sports were all given free
passes. We demand that Congress address this grievous
oversight now.”
The letter explained that the Alliance's top goal for
2007 was to achieve an exemption from the Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) for poker.
The UIGEA did include one provision that was actually
friendly to Internet gambling companies: It gives states
the ability to regulate Internet gambling within state
borders, giving the PPA another avenue to recognition.
Players can earn bonuses based on what level of PPA
membership they register for. Membership fees escalate
through the different levels, and the bonuses are based
on this ranking:
* Standard member, $20, players receive a $50 bonus
* Supporting member, $40, players receive a $100 bonus
* Contributing member, $100, players receive a $200
bonus
* Distinguished member, $1,000, players receive a $1,000
bonus
Players can also sign up for free and receive a freeroll
to the PPA tournament where 18 personalised Full Tilt
jerseys will be given away. All players who sign up at
any level before March 5 receive an entry into this
event.
With a membership already in excess of 100 000, the PPA
should receive a surge of new blood as a result of the
Full Tilt initiative, and the increase will not only
grow its financial resources, but its influence.
