Frank's Legislation has Technological Support

The current climate of debate in the United States over online casino gambling is unsettled, and new ideas concerning how to fix the issues that the UIGEA brought to light change on a daily basis. Right now though, there are two main solutions proposed before congress to address online casinos in the U.S. Both Congressman Barney Frank and Nevada Representative Shelley Berkley have presented bills to Congress, now it comes down to which is best for the U.S., and can gain Congress’s support.

Though Berkley’s bill is popular in Congress, Frank’s bill is gaining international support from the technology company the UC Group. The UC Group has developed the technology to regulate online casinos though monitoring the age and pinpoint an exact location for all online casinos, poker, and betting gamblers. And beyond just those parameters, their technology is designed to flag compulsive online casino gamblers and money laundering schemes. Already internet gambling companies and countries around the world are using this technology to regulate the industry.

The UC Group specializes in payment services, and are currently vocally supporting Franks bill through an initiative called the “Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Intiative.” To push this initiative in the U.S., the UC Group has partnered with an international accounting firm, Baker Tilly. The Initiative’s spokesperson, Jeff Sandman, says, “The Initiative is both to educate parts of the public as well as to garner grassroots support from other companies, organizations, and individuals for the legislation,”

Basically the Initiative is lobbying for support of Franks bill because it would bring online casinos back into the United States, but the technology would allow the U.S. much more control over who gambles, where, and when. Frank’s bill would counteract the UIGEA, and allow online casino gambling through a federal licensing and regulation process.
