For more than a decade, John Pappas was the face of legalized online poker in the United States as he led the Poker Players Alliance during a period of the introduction of legal online gaming in the U.S. and a crackdown on sites like Full Tilt and Poker Stars following the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006.
