U.S. Senator Makes Ambiguous Claims

There is no doubt that the majority of the American public is both confused and mislead concerning the issue of online casino gambling. And partly to blame for that confusion is U.S. Senator Jon Kyl. Not only did Kyl sponsor the UIGEA (this act hinders U.S. banks from authorizing transactions with online casinos), but he is also quoted misrepresenting facts and circumstances to U.S. citizens as a way to skew the actual enforceability of the UIGEA.

Right from the get-go the UIGEA caused massive confusion among online casino gamblers as their favorite e-wallets and U.S. based online casinos shut-down shortly after the bill was signed into law. And Senator Kyl has only supported the confusion because it means that less citizens are finding alternative ways to gamble online. Basically, Kyl attempts to mislead the public into believing that the UIGEA means that the federal government could punish a citizen for merely gambling at online casinos.

Recently in Arizona, the state authorities began cracking down on illegal bookies. It seems that Phoenix was the focal point of a large-scale gambling ring operating in three states. These bookies took wagers, collected money, and used computers to facilitate the process. And it is the later detail that Kyl exploited as a way to further mislead the online casino gamblers. Rather than explain the situation as it actually was, Kyl used this case as an example of how the U.S. is now focusing on eliminating online gambling. But that is not why these bookies were arrested at all, they faced other penalties than breaking the terms of the UIGEA.

So basically Senator Kyl is asserting his opinion to the public as strongly as possible as a way to further curb online casino gambling—and all because he believes online gambling is wrong. The issue though comes up when Senator Kyl goes so far as to skew information, and use scare tactics on American citizens.
