This page gives you practical ways to take action right now.
1. Contact Your Elected Officials
Congress decides these issues. Silence guarantees outcomes you don’t want.
Key legislation impacting the gaming industry, including gambling taxation, online poker access, and player protections, depends on direct engagement from constituents.
What You Can Do
Call or email your U.S. Representative and Senators
Ask them to support and advance fair gaming legislation
Request hearings and public positions—not vague “monitoring”
You do not need to be an expert. Lawmakers track volume and consistency, not eloquence.
2. Support Fair Gaming Policy
Bad policy punishes players, workers, and entire local economies.
Railbird Creations focuses on issues that cut across the entire gaming ecosystem, including:
- Fair and accurate gambling taxation
- Nationwide access to regulated online poker
- Consumer and player protections
- Transparency and accountability from operators

Numbers matter. Organization matters more.
Lawmakers and regulators look for evidence of real-world impact. Grassroots participation is how we demonstrate it.
