The nation's poker players are enlisting lawyers to keep them from running afoul of gambling laws.
A group called the Poker Players Alliance started operating a Litigation Support Network last week.
The alliance gives members free referrals to lawyers who can advise them on how to avoid overstepping legal limits while betting on their poker games.
"With the myriad local, state and federal laws impacting poker, the Litigation Support Network is an important service that our members can and should use," said former New York Sen. Alfonse M. D'Amato, chairman of the Poker Players Alliance.
