Italian Poker Cash Games Allowed
The Italian poker rooms with licenses to operate in Italy have now been allowed to offer cash games to their players. For the last two years online poker has been legalized in Italy, however players have been limited to playing only online poker tournaments.
Cash games were previously banned because they were strangely enough labeled as luck based gambling games but tournaments were seen as a skilled game.
While most of the Italians are playing at PokerStars, PartyPoker is offering players a chance to win a share of €50,000 in the Party Poker cash quest promotion exclusive to Italian Poker players.
