To get a poker software CD mailed to you address by the sponsoring site one might be required to fill in details like:
• The first name of the poker player
• The last name of the poker player
• The address to which the poker software CD should be mailed should be filled in clearly
• The country details should be appropriately filled to get the poker software CD.
• The telephone number and e-mail address of the players should also be filled.

Most of us might be wondering why a poker software CD should be mailed when it is possible to download the same from the internet?  The answer is pretty logical, because some states block the functioning of IP addresses of poker sites due to very strict gambling laws and it is going to be difficult for poker fans to download some poker rooms of their choice.

So, is it not illegal to post poker software CD in a state where gambling is prohibited? Definitely, not, because poker sites get banned in a way to avoid games that are played with financial transactions.  Those games that are not played with financial transactions are not offensive.  Since poker software CD is aimed to improve the skill set of a poker player in the game and in most cases it is not involved with betting and financial transactions, these are not considered to be against law.

Also, mailing of poker software CD to people requesting such is a method to create a database of interested poker fans from around and world.  Obviously, people who order poker software CD are going to be in some way or the other interested in playing poker. 

The poker company that is sponsoring games will use these addresses and e-mails and telephone numbers to inform poker fans about upcoming interesting poker events and games.  It is more of a promotional plan aimed to get in more and more people to play poker and to encourage more people to play real time poker. You can create an interesting poker software CD library too with such offers!
