They Want Online Casinos or Exemption

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Act (UIGEA) and all of the objections surrounding the act have taken a backseat in the past several months as the upcoming presidential elections set the discussion. Although media coverage of objections to the Act, which bans transactions between offshore online casinos and US financial institutions, has taken a back seat, that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been developments. The iMEGA case is still in development and according iMEGA’s legal team they have obtained the aid of one of the top lawyers in the states to help with the case. iMEGA’s legal team is shaping up to prove a formidable team of top professionals on internet law, online casino gambling, and the justice system in general.

iMEGA announced that Stephen A. Saltzburg has joined the legal team and will not only assist the team in developing a case, but will also take the case all the way to trial. Saltzburg is both a law professor at George Washington University and a top lawyer in Washington DC. The iMEGA case is one its way to the appeal case in what is becoming an international debacle on the part of the US government. The US government continues to stand by the flawed UIGEA and the Act’s attempts to not only block foreign online casinos from the market, but also prosecute gambling companies that are currently active and were active prior to the UIGEA’s passage in October of 2006.

The international online casino gambling industry has supported iMEGA’s attempts to seek reprieve from the reaches of the UIGEA – at least until the Act has released the enforcement regulations. The courts on the other hand have acknowledged that iMEGA has some validity in the Associations concerns but was unable to pass a favorable ruling – that is why the case is now moving to the US 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.
