Poker Players Alliance running free membership drive

Now more than 100,000 members strong, the Poker Players Alliance is hoping to further increase its troops in the battle against unfair gambling regulations by offering free memberships.

The alliance, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to protect poker players' rights, is hoping to double its membership by this year's World Series of Poker.

To become a part of the group - already a who's who of the professional poker world with members such as Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese and Erik Seidel - visit the Poker Players Alliance Web site at www.pokerplayersalliance.org/jointoday.php.

Signing up is free, but the group also offers a $20 full membership, a $40 supporting membership, a $100 contributing membership and a $1,000 distinguished membership, all of which include a t-shirt and access to information about special events.

Players can also update their current memberships on the site or make a donation to the organization. The alliance has updated the homepage to make donations simpler and anonymous if the benefactor so wishes.
