Gambling Initiative Seeks U.S. Regulation

The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative recently commented on the growing international concern about the U.S.’s online casinos gambling legislation. Specifically, the Initiative supports a global effort to get the U.S. to drop legislation that discriminates against offshore and foreign internet gambling operators while allowing individual U.S. states to accept internet betting. The issue with the U.S. started with the 2006 Act that effectively banned online casinos gambling transactions with financial institutions and has only continued to grow from in scope from that point. The issue is now a global concern that has every nation wondering what the U.S. will do in the coming months.

There are several organizations though that are asserting that all of the politicking and international negotiations concerning the online casinos gambling ban could be solved if the U.S. conceded to requests from other nations and even the WTO that the U.S. license and regulate gambling rather than banning the pastime.

The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative supports bringing online casinos gambling back into the U.S. because it will actually make the industry safer for players who currently still gamble through the internet, but risk a great deal in the process because it is unregulated in the U.S. The Initiative specializes in ways that nations can make internet gambling very secure against underage and problem gamblers. Other nations have effectively secured the industry and protected citizens, but unfortunately a handful of U.S. politicians and Trade Representatives are prolonging the global gambling issue.

A spokesperson for the Initiative, Jeffrey Sandman, comments, "It is time for the U.S. to end its hypocritical practices that discriminate against foreign online gambling operators, while allowing U.S. gambling operators to accept bets for certain forms of gambling. Regulation of Internet gambling should be supported as a means to resolve this trade dispute."
