Delaying iMEGA's Online Casino Efforts

The online casino gambling issue is heating up in the United States and several of the ongoing cases and issues are coming to a near-resolution. But only nearly a resolution because delays keep popping up in several areas and all of the avenues are seeing some problems. iMEGA went the court route against the UIGEA; the association challenged the legitimacy of the UIGEA on grounds that the act was very vague and should not be implemented and enforced in the United States because it is highly flawed and unclear. iMEGA has progressed with the case for some time now and made it all the way up to the US Third Court of Appeals – it is here though that iMEGA announced that there is a possible delay and the outcome is could be less ideal than initially anticipated, a blow to the online casino gambling industry.

iMEGA has built a strong case against the UIGEA and has a lot of evidence and proof that the UIGEA is flawed and unenforceable as currently written. The Act is designed to prevent illegal offshore online casinos transacting with US gamblers. But a key issue lies in the fact that “illegal internet gambling” is not clearly defined anywhere within the Act. iMEGA has highlighted this fact in all of the lower courts as a key point of contention in striking down the vague UIGEA.

But this recent court has made some unexpected choices regarding a line of questioning and iMEGA is now quite worried about the outcome and what this means for the US online casino gambling industry. iMEGA anticipated a certain line of questioning from the judges on the case and, when those expectations were not met, the case is a little shakier than previously thought.
