Presidential hopeful and poker enthusiast Andrew Yang<\/strong> ended his campaign bid on February 11 unable to garner additional support to push past the Democratic in-house elections. He was the first candidate to speak on a variety of issues, including universal income, digital tax and surprisingly, the legalization of online poker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His hint at taxing digital adds<\/a> may have ruffled some feathers, but his idea to bring back online poker definitely resonated deeply with the poker community across the United States. Broaching upon an issue such as poker has definitely been in the fringe of priorities for other presidential candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online poker is legal in 4 states. The state-by-state rules are variable and push many players to offshore sites. We should clarify the rules and make it legal in all 50 states. US players and companies would benefit and new tax revenues could be used to mitigate addiction.<\/p>— Andrew Yang\ud83e\udde2 (@AndrewYang) October 26, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>
