Online Casino Gambling Takes a Chance

A look at both of the U.S. presidential hopefuls reveals that Barack Obama is almost clearly the better choice when it comes to the online casino gambling industry. Interestingly enough though, that decision is based off of party politics more so than the specific platforms of either candidate because neither John McCain nor Obama have released an official stance on the internet gambling issue. Both candidates are pro-land gambling, but the Republican platform is very dead-set against the internet gambling industry and little that McCain alludes to can assuage the growing concerns about the impact of the Bush administration on the U.S.’s relationship with international online casinos and foreign governments.

Obama and McCain have both publically acknowledges that they enjoy forms of land casino and poker gambling but both have also remained tight-lipped on their plans for the U.S. internet gambling industry. The Republican-backed UIGEA, which effectively bans offshore online casinos from accessing U.S. players, has made most in the industry skeptical that McCain would support legalizing and regulating the internet gambling industry. This is despite the fact that McCain is a self-admitted craps player. According to his aides and industry press McCain can often be found spending long hours testing his luck at the craps tables.

Obama on the other hand benefits from the fact that Democrats traditionally back gambling efforts – both in the land and online casino gambling industries. So although he has not officially stated that he plans to legalize/regulate/alter the current U.S. gambling industry, poker players all over the U.S. (and the world) are banking on the fact that Obama is an avid poker player and will likely support a more liberal U.S. gambling climate.
