Holding Off the Vote

Opponents to a legalized online casino gambling industry are now in a tricky position since the pro-internet gambling legislation is closer than ever to finding passage. The support for the internet gambling industry is growing, and not just throughout the US, but an increasing number of politicians are throwing their weight behind bills that are designed to license and regulate the offshore online casinos seeking access to the US market. As Barney Frank’s efforts gain steam and are pushing through Congress, the best that the opponents can hope to do is stall the discussions and the eventual repeal of the UIGEA.

The conservative right is largely against the online casino gambling industry in the US. There are a few notable Republicans who have actually put their public voice behind the initiative to repeal the UIGEA, but by and large the effort is powered by the Democrats and moderates. The conservative Republicans have really tried every tactic they can muster up to slow down the support for legalized US online casinos. One of the key tactics over the past three years has been the spreading of misinformation and blatantly untrue facts. But the misinformation has slowly been corrected by supporters of a free and open internet gambling industry and the movement is gaining momentum.

One of the major recent setbacks came by way of the postponement of discussions on Congressman Barney Frank’s bill that has finally made it to Congress. Although the bill was due for discussion at the beginning of July, the date was pushed back until the next Congressional session. This seems to be the key strategy right now from the online casino gambling opposition. Since the opposition is unsure of the outcome of a Congressional vote, they are determined to hold of the vote as long as possible.
