Many marijuana advocacy groups push for regulation along with legalization too, but do you really think they want expensive (but legal) weed? No, but they know without letting legislators get their beaks wet, they'll never go along with anything.
The PPA's options are either push for:
1) Legalizing online poker completely for the benefit of players and sites
or
2)Legalizing online poker completely, and bring in U.S. regulation that will allow the government to ensure money is tracked so taxes are easier to collect
I've never seen any PPA information regarding regulating the sites as fair or anything like that, just ideas like making the sites pay x% of each deposit or things like that.
tl;dr The PPA is pushing for different regulation than the riggies.
