United States Resists
The United States seems to always have something new to say about the online
casino industry. The latest problem in the United States is that they have
creates a no fly zone in online casinos and internet gambling. The critics of
the online casino industry have said that the online casino operators themselves
dug their own grave in this particular situation. Certain people in the online
casino industry have not gotten the best reviews of anyone in particular. So
what is the answer that they have for all of those critics? What they are trying
to do is have everything smooth over and not rock the boat like they did before
when the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was enacted in 2006.
There are a lot of online casinos and internet gambling websites that are
playing the waiting game with the United States and are hoping for the best but
preparing for the worst. The hope of the online casino industry is that new
administration will be more sympathetic to their needs and understand that they
will see how much revenue that legalization and taxation of internet gambling
websites could provide at this much needed time in the United States. What most
operators of online casinos are doing is waiting it out but at the same time
they are paying close attention to what the Senators are doing in regards to
this particular issues.
One person in particular is Congressman Barney Frank. Frank is one person who
has supported the destruction of the online casino in the United States from the
very beginning. Frank has even said, "I think if we do this right we should make
online gaming legal and subject it to a reasonable taxation like anything else.
This does not conflict to our effort to stimulate the economy. This isn't bad
for the economy." So it seems like the fight is going to continue for online
casinos for many more years to come.
