The Three Saviors: 2

As for the two other proposals that are facing Congress, both of these bills do not precisely target the online casino gambling industry and instead are seeking to legalize internet poker. The two bills go about the task in a very different way, but the outcome sought in both would bring about the legalization of online poker gambling throughout the US (but subject to state laws). Robert Wexler’s bill, the Skill Game Protection Act was proposed more than a year ago and has been slowly gaining support since that time. The Poker Players Alliance clearly supports all three of the bills, but most definitely these next two because they would specifically and efficiently legalize internet poker. But Frank’s bill also has the support of the PPA because lifting the ban on offshore online casinos would also positively benefit the internet poker industry.

The specific’s of Wexler’s proposal are actually quite simple, Wexler’s bill argues that poker is a skill based game rather than a game of complete chance like gambling at the land and online casinos. Wexler argues that online casino poker gambling is completely out of the purview of the UIGEA and there for should have the same legislative restrictions as fantasy football, chess, and any other skill based game in the US.

The other bill related to online poker gambling less than gambling at the internet casinos is a fairly new piece of legislation. The Internet Skill Game and Licensing Control Act was proposed in Robert Menendez in just September and the bill has yet to really progress very far. The UGIEA is designed to specifically block games of chance on the internet from accepting US players – with Menedez’s bill, skill based gaming would be up for licensing and internet poker would be tops on the list of games legalized and licensed throughout the US.
