Nevada Is Next to Offer Up Online Poker Legislature

March 11, 2011

Now it seems as if Nevada is jumping on the intrastate online poker bill bandwagon. Yesterday, one week after the New Jersey online poker legislature failed to pass, bill AB258 was introduced in Nevada.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “The lobbying force behind the Nevada bill is Rational Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., which does business under the name PokerStars. Based in Britain’s Isle of Man, it runs gambling sites the U.S. considers illegal.”

The bill is seemingly be tailored to online poker sites like Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars that serve the U.S. market despite the UIGEA and other discerning factors.

The bill reads, “The Commission shall not deny a license to an operator of internet poker… solely because the operator… before the effective date of this act, operates, operated, or was associated with interstate or foreign commerce… while licensed in another jurisdiction.” It goes on to say, “The Commission may issue a license as an operator of internet poker to a person or an affiliate of a person who has been licensed to operate internet poker by a recognized body of another jurisdiction with licensing requirements that are similar to the licensing requirements of this state and who has successfully operated internet poker pursuant to such a license for at least two years before the date on which the application for the license is submitted.”

This bill would apply to online poker only and strictly forbids sportsbetting. It will also allow Nevada to “enter into compacts” with outside jurisdictions that also allow online gaming, though the business would only be regarding online poker.

Whether or not this bill will make it as far as the New Jersey bill is yet to be seen, as we all know, that bill was passed, only to be vetoed by Governor Chris Christie on its way into ratification because of the bill’s constitutionality. A veto of the Nevada bill is not being foreseen.

Zynga Poker Hacker Trial

March 7, 2011

In Exeter Crown Court last week, Ashley Mitchell, the Zynga Poker hacker, plead guilty to multiple charges under the Computer Misuse Act, as well as the Proceeds from Crime Act. He was caught embezzling large numbers of online poker chips. A witness, however, has recently come forth claiming to have “pertinent information” to the case as a former Zynga Poker employee.

Allegedly, Mitchell hacked the Zynga Poker server masked as an administrator. This allowed him to access and steal more than 400 billion chips that may have possibly been worth as much as $12 million in US dollars in value had they been sold. This amount, however, is the disputed evidence by the new witness. The court has postponed further ruling until March 14th, so that the defense can get a statement from the witness.

Regardless of what the chips were in fact worth, Mitchell did in fact hack the servers of Zynga Poker, a crime punishable by law. In fact, he was forewarned by the judge at the onset of the case that he would by a facing “lengthy sentence” for his crimes, especially since this is not the first time Mitchell has been caught in cyber stealing.

He was found guilty in 2008 of hacking the computer systems of a previous employer, Torbay Council, in order to pay himself a £2000 cash payment. He was given a suspended sentence for this crime, but he is most likely looking at jail time after stealing 400+billion poker chips from the online poker app via Facebook, Zynga Poker.

Bluff Online Poker Challenge Starts Next Month

March 7, 2011

The Bluff Online Poker Challenge is back brought to you by co-sponsors Lock Poker, Pokernewsboy, and Bluff Magazine. Its purpose is to showcase the very best of the crop where anyone in the world can step up to the challenge. It all starts April 1st.

If appearing on the cover of the July 2011 Bluff Magazine or perhaps being the feature of a six-month marketing spread or even a two-year sponsorship deal with LockPRO ELITE or a seat at the 2011 WSOP Main Event appeals to you, then you should definitely register for the BPC because they can make it all happen.

Bluff Magazine president Eric Morris says, “We are so excited to be doing this type of challenge with Lock again. We really are in a new generation of poker where online Pros are the new rockstars.” He continues, “We want to be a part of making the next amazing player really matter. This is a life changing moment for any serious poker player out there and we are excited to be a part of it.”

Each player will start the competition off with a bankroll of their choice. They will each have the full month of April to enhance that bankroll by participating in multi-table tourneys, ring games, and sit n gos on LockPoker.com. Whoever comes out of the month with the biggest profit margin will be the winner—it’s that simple. Bankroll reloads are allowed throughout the month. There is a minimum play amount required though to keep you playing. You must play at least 2,000 raked hands or at least 250 multi-table tournaments or sit n gos. Play will run through April 30th at Midnight.

Isildur1 Has A New Adversary: urnotindangr

March 3, 2011

Team PokerStars Pro Viktor Blom, otherwise known as the infamous “Isildur1” and his latest adversary Scott “urnotindangr” Palmer have been at it at the high stakes tables recently. Palmer has been trying his hand at Blom, but alas, Blom has been the better of the two. Last weekend the duo played 745 hands at the $50/$100 PLO with mandatory pre-flop betting with three re-raises, making the game more like $300/$900. The battle ended in Blom’s favor. In fact, after it was all said and done, Blom was $620,000 richer, making Blom’s profits more than $800,000 since he joined Stars back in January.

However, the story doesn’t end there. Blom and Palmer met again Tuesday, playing into the wee hours of the morning. The session went on for 17 hours and lasted more than 7,000 hands carried out across six tables at once. At half point, Blom was down to about $25,000 at one table and there seemed to be little hope for him until he double up and went back up to two tables. Palmer had meanwhile become bored with Blom and was multi-tabling seven other cash games on top of the six he had going with Blom. But Blom came back after another eight hours and finished with well over $400,000.

Now Bloom is up more than $1 million since signing on with PokerStars and revealing his identity at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Palmer though is still up as well, to the tune of about $800,000 between PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker activity. But if he keeps messing with Blom, within weeks, he could actually be in trouble.
