Countries that want online poker to be legalized.....read to see the irony

I just recently read in this Poker blog that France is already catching up to the beat of online gambling. I did not know that they haven't started. I thought France was supposed to be an advanced country? I do not know. The article said something about European Infringement something which means that France i think has to consider some strict provisions in opening their doors to online gambling.

It seems that many are getting really hooked huh and it seems that some countries are already realizing the benefits of online Poker to their economies. Ironic though because while some are really opening their doors for Poker and legalizing it. United States of America are exhausting all its efforts to ban online Poker. Do they what they are doing? Sad to say, but i think other countries know better. Hello? If politicians are not sick, then why will they put a ban to something the state or the economy can profit from? Unless it has something to do with politicizing the very nature of the Poker industry...hmmm sounds highly suspicious.

I am sure the bill to legalize online Poker in France will have many supporters who are open minded. I know that like most things Poker has its implications but at the same time it also has benefits that many can reap from. What the United States government should do is to make sure that there will be strict implementation of these online Poker sites. No need to put a ban on it. The Poker industry and the government should work out something out like the one that recently happened in Canada.

The government of canada worked together with the Poker industry to settle something that turned out to be a charitable benefit. I am not sure if you are familiar with that Poker news. I am actually fond of reading Poker news that is why i know a lot when it comes to what is happening inside the Poker world. Anyway, going back, i think aside from France, Italy is also starting to make its way in legalizing online Poker and sports betting. I am just not sure though, i came across some site that are already starting to make their promotions.

If France and Italy are already making its way to legalize online
Poker, the government of united states are trying to put a ban it. Why? I want to hear first hand the reasons of politicians opposing online Poker. Maybe i can learn something from them. Laugh out loud!

Seriously, i am kind of thrilled that online Poker is booming. That will only mean huge earnings right? I hope though that there will be more Poker Rooms that are not so discriminating. I am hoping to find an online Poker Room where regardless of which country or continent you came from, you are always welcome to play. I wonder when this will happen. In Asia, online Poker is not that yet popular. I am sure it will be once the Poker industry realizes the market size of Asia, the largest continent.
