- Thursday, 1 Dec 2005
According to a recently published article, the U.S. Justice Department has targeted several prominent media companies for accepting advertising from the online gambling industry, most specifically, online poker.
Many online gambling companies have found clever ways to advertise and surpass the legality issues imposed on the poker industry. The New York Post said that companies like Doyle's Room are advertise a free poker site, often ending in dot-net and composed of free poker tips, gambling strategies and poker games. This ultimately prompts visitors to gamble at their real money poker website.
The online poker industry, which is legal elsewhere overseas, has captured the interest of most Americans, and is now one the most popular gambling activities on the internet. As an example, Doyle's Poker Room guarantees over 60 gambling tournaments per day and hosts poker games to thousands of people from around the World. The need for a gambling trip to Vegas, Atlantic City or your local poker room has virtually vanished due to the recent increase in popularity of online gambling.
