Hey guys,
Quick update.
Firstly a big thank you to all those that sent some money over to help support our campaign (I am not naming you in case you don't want to be named but if you do please let me know and I will)!
I received USD$150 which equates to 122 GBP (FB advertising currency is GBP). I have added that to the marketing campaign and am running a bit of a 'blitzkrieg' over the Christmas period.
If you would still like to contribute please do - If easiest send money to 'JosephDel' on PokerStars. If you would like to contribute in another way then get in touch via australian.online.poker.alliance@gmail
(It should go without saying but just for the sake of clarity, I am not keeping any of this money 100% of it is going towards the campaign).
The FB page (
https://www.facebook.com/AustralianOnlinePokerAlliance/ for anyone who hasn't signed up yet) has >200 followers in 2 days. I have looked at the metrics from the current campaigns and have refined them to focus on the demographics we are having the most cut through in. Hopefully this will see the greatest return on our investment and help those numbers continue to grow.
The petition is just below 900 signatures so we need a little more than one hundred more people to hit the magical 1k mark! Again if you haven't signed or shared this yet please do -

Actually, if you haven't shared it in the past couple of days please share again!
Have held some valuable meetings over the past couple of days. We are organising a time to catch up with a Director of one of the world's largest poker companies (they are on the other side of the world). Given it is Christmas the timing is obviously a little difficult but we should have this finalised shortly.
Also I had a phone meeting yesterday with the head of the 'Australian Taxpayers Alliance' (
https://www.facebook.com/AusTaxpayers/) one of Australia's most effective libertarian lobbyist groups yesterday. They are really keen to support and we are going to be doing some things together. I am currently working on some material for them to publish on their website.
We have been getting a lot of support from other Australian Poker groups. I would like to name the following who have shared and supported our cause.
- somuchpoker.com
- Pokermedia Australia
- Sydney Daytime Poker
- LCA Poker
- APW Informer
We have a lot of great people in the poker industry, let's hope we can all continue to chip in a little and end up with a big result.
Thanks all for your continued help. Please keep signing and sharing!
What other things would you guys like to see? I have been playing around a bit and looking at some options such as a t-shirts or hats people could wear during the Aussie Millions or other live poker. Is this something people would be interested in?
