Turning Public Opinion About Online Casinos

The UIGEA has made headlines for two years now about all sorts of issues and problems that the banks and gambling proponents have highlighted but there has been one glaring and obvious omission from the arguments – and one that could likely sway the tide of public opinion in the favor of the online casinos. The UIGEA does not address problem gambling nearly at all. With all of the talk about the faults of the UIGEA the banking industry and the online casinos have opined that the flawed regulations would topple the financial services sector and cause major problems. But through all of this no one has mentioned that the UGIEA merely blocks online gambling without noting how the government plans to cope with issue of addictive and problem in the US.

Keith Whyte is the Executive Director for the National Council on Problem Gaming and he is one of the first to bring up this highly pertinent subject. Whyte elaborates on the problems facing the US in terms of cutting off online casino gamblers without actually addressing the root cause – he finds a whole lot of fault in this logic. Whyte opines that if proponents and the online casinos themselves were able to point out this glaring oversight in the UIGEA, and then point out how the companies and organizations could do a better job of actually protecting gamblers, the gambling industry might actually win over a few supporters in the long run.

The implementation of the UGIEA is costing the government millions and some of the hard hitting questions not being asked by anyone is why some of that money is not going to help those land and online casino gamblers addicted to gambling.
