Swiss Courts and Poker Legality

The Helvetica Federal Administrative Tribunal has made a decision that poker is more a game of skill than chance, which essentially makes Swiss poker legal. This is upholding an earlier decision by the CFMJ, which made an agreement to allow 189 private tournaments of the game of Texas Holdem poker to be run in 2008 – the agreement that then came under fire from Casinos, who were concerned about losing business. The year of 2008 also was the record holder for number of complaints against this form of poker.
