Following our letter we sent to you concerning the U.S. Congress, we have to tell you that the S. 627 Bill that aims to prohibit Internet Gambling has been passed at the Senate Banking Committee. This is not yet a law, the Bill has still to pass the full Senate... But it's not good news. Rather than regulating our friendly industry, they prefer to prohibit it... Do you think that politicians should choose for you ? Is it normal that you can't choose YOURSELF the form of entertainment YOU like ? What's about FREEDOM ? You can go to http://www.profreedom.com to send a letter today to your Senators. ACT NOW ! - Again a Major Millions winner !

Richard C. Shelby, R-Ala., amended it by taking out a carve-out that would let states regulate online gambling that only takes place within their state lines. The Banking Committee spent about five minutes on the bill Thursday morning and voted 19-0 to pass it on to the full Senate. For the next five weeks Congress will be on break. [...] Source : I-Gaming News 2) IGC Comments On Senate Banking Commitee Approval of S.627 VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 31, 2003 -- "The Interactive Gaming Council regrets that the U.S. Congress took another step backwards today when the Senate Banking Committee approved S.627. Our country has had one sorry experience with Prohibition, and this approach will not work any better in cyber space. "The Senate Banking Committee's amendment to eliminate state governments' right to regulate online gaming sets a bad precedent. State governments, which have historically licensed, regulated, and taxed the gaming industry, may eventually forfeit this right as well as vital gaming tax revenues to the Federal government. State governments and the gaming industry should be concerned about a potential for a Federal siphoning of gaming taxes that are often dedicated to important state programs that benefit senior citizens and children."

(OTCBB:PKER - News) announces it may be positively impacted by legislation banning the use of credit cards, wire transfers and other banking instruments to fund internet gambling activities by American citizens which was unanimously passed today by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee without debate and will be reported to the full Senate at a later date.
