Regulated gambling on line can be implemented with secure player protection. This can be to the benefit of government and casino alike. Online
gambling may very well limit gambling addiction and be a path to responsible gaming. Gambling is only a word for those who do not understand the mechanics of
games of chance, and may well do to be more educated in the entertainment value. Jady Davis
It should send up all kinds of red flags because this bill will effectively remove all competition from the market and place sole power over the industry in the hands of one single US Government Agency - giving ONE person the power to enforce the regulations - The Director of Financial Crimes and Enforcement.
As expected the Port Safety Bill was unanimously approved in the Senate. Once it passed and they scared the beejeezus out of everyone by going after the big online processing companies, they now offer us another and call it a “repeal” to calm our fears.
interesting!
As the MA Representative for the Poker Players Alliance, I applaud Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) for stepping up to the plate and undoing one of the most ludicrous bills ever presented and passed in congress (UIGEA). We poker players are ever grateful to those political figureheads who are in support of repealing the UIGEA! Thank you very much!
So why not pass a federal law that overrides all state laws against gambling and casinos?
