WASHINGTON, Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "The National District Attorneys Association is encouraged by the efforts of Former Governor Tom Ridge, Judge Louis Freeh and FairPlayUSA to combat illegal internet gambling and create a strong regulatory framework for legal online poker.

"In the current environment, law enforcement officials and prosecutors lack the tools necessary to put the illegal offshore sites out of business and protect consumers and children from the operators who engage in illegal activity. As the oldest and largest professional organization representing criminal prosecutors in the world, we are pleased to see a group like FairPlayUSA dedicated to protecting the public and calling on Congress to provide the tools necessary for law enforcement—not financial institutions—to crack down on illegal Internet gambling."

About FairPlayUSA:
The coalition is designed to educate policymakers and the public about the current ambiguous laws in the U.S. that have led to a $6 billion a year illegal gambling market led by rogue offshore operators.  FairPlayUSA supports Congress once and for all defining what is illegal gambling and providing stronger law enforcement tools to ban such gambling, as well as providing a strict regulatory framework for online poker.
