Appeals to Neutralization

Barney Frank’s proposed act that would neutralize the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is gaining more and more support both within the United States, and at the international level. Countries currently involved in online casino compensation negotiations with the United States are increasingly rejecting the idea that politicians and representatives from Washington will appropriately resolve the international disputes and instead turning on to the view that international pressure could in fact cause Congress to pass legislation overturning last year’s online casinos ban.

Frank’s bill, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (IGREA) calls for the licensing and regulation of the online casino industry as a means to both reinstate American civil liberties that are hampered by the UIGEA, and as a way for international resolution. Based on comments to Reuters, Mandelson and others representing the EU online casinos industry may approach both Barney Frank and other members of Congress about bypassing the U.S. Trade Representative’s office and instead nipping the problem in the bud expediently by neutralizing the highly polarizing UIGEA.

Barney Frank’s IGREA is viewed as a workable solution for the international online casino industry, as well as a positive move toward protecting Americans from the dangers that UIGEA supporters claim lie within the internet gambling industry. Mandelson is rumored to have plans to speak with Frank about his legislation in early November.
