Online Casino Industry Going into the Debates

The PPA and supporters of the U.S. online casino gambling industry are left in a precarious position now that the two presidential candidates are not looking very pro-internet gambling. Naturally the Democrats are more pro-internet gambling than the Republicans as a matter of tradition really, but even the Democrats position on the issue leaves much to be desired for gamblers looking for some assurance and detailed information on each candidate’s stance on gambling at the online casinos. The Republican platform is decidedly anti-internet gambling and the Democrats are unfortunately a bit wishy-washy on the subject.

Online casino gambling in the United States is currently banned by the controversial UIGEA – a piece of anti-internet gambling legislation that was pushed through by the Republican Senator from Arizona, Jon Kyl. Now that the legislation is in place, and considering that even some Democrats are a bit adverse to legalized and regulated online casino gambling in the United States, gamblers are wondering if they will ever get new pro-gambling legislation pushed through Congress.

While the specific platforms for each party specify a the official position of that party on the online casino gambling issue, some pro-internet gambling Republicans are hoping that McCain will differ from the party on this issue. The only other hope for Republicans supporting the pro-internet gambling initiatives is to continue expressing their suppor of internet casino gambling in the Republican Committee Forum up until the official platform is finalized.

Already the pro-online gambling Democrats are noting that Obama himself is an avid poker player – that bodes well for his much touted message of “change,” at least regarding the internet gambling industry.
