Time Running Out for Australian Poker Players to Save Online Poker

Australian poker players have less than a week left to have their say on an Australian Parliamentary inquiry into online poker in the country. The Australian Senate inquiry into online poker is accepting submissions only until Friday, July 21.

"We are fast running out of time to save online poker in Australia. The time to act is now," said leading Australian poker activist and founder of the Australian Online Poker Alliance, Joseph Del Duca.

The inquiry has a wide term of reference from the Senate's Environment and Communications Committee, including whether banning online poker is the best way to balance the harms and benefits from online poker.
