Poker a Skill Game

Everyone is in agreement that poker is a game of skill, at least most are. With Barney Frank’s new Bill to legalize online gambling approaching soon, he has many more supporters now than when he first started on this bill.
He is strongly supported that poker should be legal since it is a game of skill, and therefore has an even stronger case for being legal. He concluded by saying “Congress probably should fold its interference with Internet gambling, and certainly should get its ten thumbs off Americans’ freedom to exercise their poker skills online.”
I strongly agree!! It should be our choice to play poker and other games online in our own homes. Let’s all stand behind Frank to get this uncalled for UIGEA thrown out and legalize skill games as well as all other games we want to play online.

We have all been told a lot about what games of skill are. Some think that poker is gambling and not a game of skill, but it has been scientifically proven that poker is a game of skill and not a game of chance. I found this page of game of skill All-rounders. Poker is among them.

Backgammon lovers will be happy to hear that the World Series of Backgammon has joined Jadestone’s New Backgammon Network. The official launch will be at a press conference on July 24th in Palm Beach Casino.
July 15, 2009 (Stockholm, Sweden) – Jadestone Networks, the Nordic based owner and operator of multiplayer gaming networks GamArena and DiceArena, announced today that the World Series of Backgammon (WSOB) is joining their new backgammon network. The official launch will take place on Friday July 24, 2009 in
Cannes at the WSOB live event.
The backgammon network, built on Jadestone’s cutting edge DiceArena multiplayer platform, was launched in June and it already includes partners such as bwin, Nordicbet and PAF. The WSOB joins it during a period of rapid growth in player numbers and it will bring with it significant backgammon expertise and a large base of keen backgammon players.
“We’ve already seen that backgammon is a tremendously popular game,” said Robert Henrysson, CEO at Jadestone. “All of our partners are hungry to launch our new version and player numbers in the network have grown every day since early June. We want to become the largest network and to be the first choice for dedicated backgammon players across
Europe and this partnership with the WSOB underlines just how serious we are.”
Andy Bell, Managing Director of the WSOB, is also excited about the new partnership and said that: “We’ve been building up to this online backgammon launch on our WSOB site for some time, but we think it was worth the wait; the Jadestone platform is absolutely the right solution for us. From July 24 all backgammon enthusiasts will be able to play online via our site and qualify for WSOB offline events in cities such as
Cannes and Prague and for the WSOB Championship in London this October where the expected prize pool will top €300,000. We have a strong field of players lined up to get rolling on our new online site.”
The Jadestone backgammon network is fully compliant with all commonly used competition rule sets and includes the same extensive operations and anti-fraud systems as other DiceArena games. It is an integrated part of the Jadestone Arena games ‘super network’ which means that it shares the player identity system and liquidity with other multiplayer games networks including GamArena. It is available across
Europe with support for 25 languages.
On July 24, 2009 the WSOB and Jadestone will officially launch the WSOB branded backgammon site during the Cannes WSOB event at the Palm Beach Casino. Qualifying tournaments for the Prague WSOB event will be online and open from that day.
With these two giants the world of backgammon will never be the same. This is a big one for all of you out there that love to play backgammon.
