The U.S. Has Three Choices

It seems that the climate surrounding the online casino gambling industry will not get any easier in the coming months. Right now there are three bills before Congress addressing the internet gambling legislation. Each of the bills differ on how to address the online casinos currently still operating in the U.S., yet each representative pushing the bills have valid points that would certainly improve the current legislation forbidding online casinos gambling transactions through U.S. banks.

First to propose new legislation is Congressman Barney Frank, chairman o the House Financial Services Committee. Barney’s solution for the online casino gambling industry is licensing and regulation. He proposes that the Federal government handle the licensing process, that way the U.S. still has access to online casinos, yet the government can ensure that the system isn’t getting abused.

Next up is a well-received bill pushing for a 12-month research study into all of the issues surrounding online casino gambling. Nevada Representative Shelley Berkley has presented to Congress a bill that stresses that because of the current climate surrounding online casino gambling, the U.S. should step back and take an unbiased survey of online casino gambling in the U.S. market, and find out comprehensive information concerning the internet gambling industry.

Then you have the Florida representative, Bob Wexler, supporting online poker rather than online casino gambling. His bill seeks to exclude online poker from the UIGEA restrictions—and beyond that, none of his legislation really affects the core issues facing the online casino industry.
