The online gambling industry has always seen its fair share of controversy, even from its first years. The times we live in now make no exception, and there are a lot of scandals in the online poker world to this date. The most recent one involved online poker real money  games, and it was centered around online poker rooms based in the United States in particular.

The Black Friday events, as they have been known ever since, involved the United States Department of Justice, who, along with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, conducted a nationwide investigation upon Poker Stars, Full Tilt Poker and the Ultimate Bet network, which resulted in the sites being closed down in the United States (with the domain names being seized for a couple of days as well), and this left tens of thousands of online poker players that were based in the United States without a place to play.

Most professional online poker players that were based in the United States were forced to move to other countries (with Daniel Negreanu famously comparing the US situation with what happened in communist Moscow a couple of decades ago), which prompted many of the pro players to leave the US in favor of Canada, or several other European countries.

But the April 15th events have also been a wakeup call for many of the US lawmakers from several different states, which promptly started to work on bills that would fully regulate the game of online poker (along with online casinos and many other games in the online gambling spectrum) in their states. Since then, states like Missouri or Nevada have pushed for online poker laws, and at the moment it seems like it’s only a matter of time before the game we all love is legal and backed up by proper gambling laws.

So if you’re thinking of joining an online poker room, this would be the perfect time to do it. With the Black Friday events behind us, online poker sites will only get stronger and the number of online poker players will skyrocket from here on in.

And there are tons of perks you can get by being a part of the online poker industry. There are literally dozens of different promotions, offers and bonuses that are available on most online poker sites at any given moment, not to mention the special tournaments, freerolls and satellite tournaments that might get you entry in some of the world’s largest, finest live poker tournaments. It’s well known that there’s a tight connection between events like the World Series of Poker or World Poker Tour and the satellite tournaments hosted on the world’s largest online poker rooms.

If you’re serious about becoming an online poker player, there is no better time than now to do it.
