WPT COMMENTS ON AMERICAN DEVELOPMENTS

"Bright future ahead in the wake of the 'Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act."


Adam Pliska, general counsel at World Poker Tour Enterprises, Inc. urged the U.S. poker community to focus on the bright future ahead in the wake of Congressional passage of the "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006."

"The Justice Department has been very clear that it believes online gaming to be illegal in the United States and our policies have been always been tailored accordingly," said Pliska. "This law clarifies the rules and makes it possible for everyone to move forward on an even footing."

The WPT estimates that over 50 million Americans play poker on a regular basis, with more than 100 million players world-wide.

"It was a wide-spread love of this game and the reinvention of poker as a televised sport that ignited the poker phenomenon," said Steve Lipscomb, CEO and founder of WPTE. "And, that is what will continue to drive the future of the sport. WPTE remains committed to growing the domestic poker market through traditional franchise opportunities like consumer products, sponsorship and events."
