When the founders of PartyPoker decided to take the company public on the London Stock Exchange, they changed its name to PartyGaming, so they could offer gaming beyond their wildly successful online cardroom, PartyPoker.com.

Gambling and the Law: What Is Poker?

5 May 2009
Should the prohibitions on internet gambling have a carve-out for online poker? The question is much more complicated than it seems.

Gambling and the Law: Another "What Is Poker" Case
