They are Dead Wrong

The opposition to efforts to legalize and regulate a US online casino gambling industry are resorting to spouting untruths and blatantly unfounded “facts” in an effort to persuade the public that internet gambling is very dangerous. The opposition has gotten really vocal lately because the legalization of the industry is pretty imminent by all estimations. Barney Frank’s bill is scheduled for discussion in the next Congressional session and the high level of bipartisan support for his bill bodes well. But the conservative right just can’t be content with a loss and take it gracefully. Instead, Director Suzii Paynter of the Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission is speaking out with pretty ridiculous counter-arguments to the legalized and regulated online casino gambling industry. Some of her comments to the Star-Telegram are actually laughable in their vagueness and outright untruths.

She notes, “gambling is addictive; everyone knows that,” and then goes on to remark that “complete access” to the online casinos will act as “speed for the addiction.” But yet contrast her statement with the research that has come out of the Harvard Medical School and it is apparent that Paynter is uninformed and determined to spread misinformation about the gambling industry with every intent of convincing politicians and voters to oppose measures to legalize the online casino gambling industry.

One of key parts to the whole situation is the fact that the foes to online casino gambling seem to have absolutely no perspective or impartiality. Research has come out showing that not only are the internet gambling sites on par with the land gambling venues in terms of safety, but they are also actually safer than the land gambling sites, even despite the fact that gamblers have 24/7 access to the sites right from their own homes.
