Clock Ticking For Online Casino Gambling Opponents (go back »)

The anti-gambling politicians have had their way over the past several years when it comes to online casinos and Internet gambling. Their run is quickly approaching an end, however, and the online industry cannot wait.

Representative Barney Frank has done just about everything in his power to try and have the online gaming industry regulated in the United States. He has been an avid opponent of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, but his cries have fell on deaf ears.

That may all be changing within the next few months. As the end of 2008 nears, people from all walks of life are overjoyed with the idea of a change in leadership in the US. None, however, will be more relieved that the Internet casino gambling community.

The current administration, amidst all of their underhanded, have managed to outlaw Internet gambling as part of a secure borders Bill back in 2006. For two years, they fumbled around with trying to define the new Internet gambling laws, but were unsuccessful.

Recently, lawmakers did try to put one final nail in the coffin of online grand casino, by publishing the rules for the UIGEA. While effective for now, all the rules really did was make it a tad harder for lawmakers coming in that want to regulate Internet gambling.

With the economic crisis looming, incoming lawmakers will have more on their plate to immediately deal with than Internet gambling. Once that work is complete, however, the task will switch to once again feeling the Internet, something online casino gaming operators from all countries will welcome with open arms.
