New Online Casino Bill: 1
There is a new bill in the works in the United States that may actually go hand
in hand with the online casino bill brought forth by Representative Barney
Frank’s. The bill that Barney Frank has been pushing will help legalize and
regulate online casinos in the United States. The latest bill will be brought to
the Senate by Senator Robert Menendez who is from New Jersey. His bill has not
been formally announced and has not been tied down to any type of time frame
that would make it as important as the bill Rep. Frank is pushing to get through
the legal system before the end of the year. The executive director of the Poker
Players Alliance, John Pappas, is excited about another online casino
legislation hope and he knows that there is no time frame on this subject for
the New Jersey Senator.
Frank is known around the online casino industry as sort of a helping hand. He
has already written two bills that have attempted to legalize online casinos and
internet gambling in the United States but has been unsuccessful. This time he
intends to remove the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act which has been
negatively affecting the online casino players of the United States since it was
passed in 2006. His bill proposes a plan on how to regulate and license online
casinos and poker rooms in a way that it will work for the United States. The
bills that have been presented by Barney Frank have garnered a lot of support
from the Poker Players Alliance.
