Legal aspects of free online poker game is different
from online casino gambling. The ways in which these two games are different
from one another are as follows. Free
online poker game is totally legal while casino gambling game is illegal
or requires certain things to make it legal. Free online poker games regulate in many countries including
Caribbean and UK. In USA, North Dakota passed a bill to regulate free online poker game in 2005 and
gave the operators free online poker
license to operate the game. But many conditions were applied for the legality
of free online poker game. The
main condition was physical location of game centers. These centers were
testified by state senate judiciary committee. But these centers failed to
prove US department of Justice, the legality of free online poker and bill was
approved in senate that free online poker game is illegal.
However, many experts
claimed against that decision including DOJ and major website owners of free online poker games stopped
advertising dot-com websites in USA and started dot-net websites. These
websites were similar to dot-com sites, but offered no real money wagering. In
Feb, 2006, US president signed a law to increase the security inside USA and
step was taken to close down all the poker websites from USA. But there are
still free online poker games
available for the players inside USA. These free online poker games are authenticated by US law of justice and
no security threats are involved in using these sites. This act of USA stopped
the working of many free online poker
companies. But PPA started a mission and claimed in the court that in 2008 more
than 1,000,000 members in USA play free
online poker game and earn money.

Different organizations
stand against the UIGEA, a law made to increase the security inside USA by
closing the poker gambling websites. They joined and work to promote against
the law to aware people that these free
online poker games has no concern with security threats. At last, their
efforts come true and some operators have got the license of free online poker game.
