The general murkiness surrounding live poker in the UK isn't good for anyone, and one organisation is taking steps to try and clear things up a little.

The United Kingdom Poker Clubs Association has announced that it has decided to apply to the High Court for a Judicial Review of the 2005 Gambling Act.

The decision comes following the failure of the Department of Culture Media & Sport to take heed of the concerns expressed by the UKPCA during consultation over the September implementation of the Act, which will allow non-dedicated establishments such as snooker clubs and casinos to offer poker, but make it illegal for dedicated poker clubs to provide the same services.
