President Rejects Moves to Repeal Anti-Gaming laws

Stocks of all the major online gaming concerns fell sharply during after noon trading as a reaction to the news filtering out that the freshly re-elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is unlikely to repeal the laws that prevent ordinary citizens taking part in online gaming in Iran.

The largest site Poker Whores have been the worse affected publicly traded operator losing some 30% of there value in a two hour trading period with the downward trend expecting to continue this morning when the global trading markets reopen.

As a further reaction, online poker forums where overwhelmed yesterday afternoon after the story broke with online poker players threatening to give up the game largely due to the fact that the predicted and much anticipated return of ‘The Iranian fish’ was now unlikely to happen anytime soon.

We contacted the chairwoman of the Tehran Women’s Poker Association(TWPA) Mr’s Samrah Begum(name changed to protect her identity) for a local reaction, “This is just a disaster” she proclaimed, “We really thought this was going to happen this time” Samrah continued, “The rules preventing normal Iranians from pursuing there preferred pastime are draconian to say the least, I laugh when I see American players posting complaints on two plus two about the UIGEA because they have had there money confiscated by there government” she said ruefully, “Only last week one of our members had there hands confiscated by our government for playing online poker, lets see you insult someone’s mother in the chat box with no hands after that Yankee infidel”.
