"Earlier this month Congress passed The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act" said Michael Clebnik, COO of Power Play. "The response to the new law was immediate with industry leader Party Poker (PRTY.L) announcing they would immediately leave the US market, and leaving millions of American poker lovers abandoned". "Our hope is that they will join the tens of thousands that have already created an new online poker loyalty with NLOP."
"NLOP allows registered users the opportunity to win cash and prizes without gambling" explained Roy Evans EVP of NLOP.
