American Poker News

Base Poker should be your one-stop resource for all information relating to the world of Poker as it’s played in the U.S.A. today. Previous U.S. governments haven’t wanted you to partake in the centuries old pastime of gambling on cards, dominoes, dice or whatever but there’s of course still a few states where you can exercise your democratic right to bet a few bucks on the outcome of a card game.

The elephant in the room (or the monster hiding in the closet) is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act which abruptly ended all forms of online gambling in most American states in 2006. A resurgence of common sense may well see it repealed, if only state by state.

Check back to this site regularly for all information regarding not just the UIGEA but all other U.S. based, poker related news. We bring together all the important stories that effect you and tell you about the latest tournaments and promotions available.
