Concerns About Anti-UIGEA Sentiments

The U.S. attempt in 2006 to block and ban the online casinos gambling industry in the United States has largely proved a failure and last week’s Congressional hearing provided witnesses and testimony to back the argument that the UIGEA is more of a hindrance than a help. And as awareness grows in the political arena, more and more politicians are voicing their support for legislation that blocks or neturalizes the UIGEA. Congressman Barney Frank’s HR 2046 proposal in particular is gaining support across the board – Republicans and Democrats. Some though see HR 2046 as a threat and even through all of the convincing evidence to show that the UIGEA online casinos gambling ban is fundamentally flawed cannot persuade some.

The “Townhall” a publication out of Washington, DC ran an article written by Paul M. Weyrich, a representative for the Free Congress Research and Education Foundation. Weyrich’s article proved to be a largely biased piece that centered on all of the dangers of online casinos gambling and upheld the UIGEA as the solution to American gambling addiction problems. Weyrish noted that online casinos gambling is “a particularly destructive addiction,” which is no less than the truth. But where Weyrich misses the point lies in the fact that the UIGEA only pushes internet gambling underground and bypasses the U.S.’s ability to give help to those suffering from online gambling addictions.

Franks, UIGEA has every likelihood of passing because it would not only bring the United States into accord with the other nations regarding foreign online casinos gambling policies, but would also provide many more safeguards and protection for U.S. gamblers. Those UIGEA proponents seem to miss the point that so many mentioned in last week’s Congressional hearing on the online gambling issue – the UIGEA is not a solution the nation’s internet gambling problems it only creates more severe issues to be dealt with.
