Some Support for Online Casinos

The land gambling industry in the United States is still stuck at an impasse this week despite hopes from the online casino gambling industry that a pro-internet gambling position would come out of the latest discussions. The American Gaming Association represents all of the major land gambling companies operating in the United States and works to then lobby the government and create initiatives that benefit and support the interests of the land casino gambling industry. The latest issue that has been a growing concern in the United States is the issue of online casino gambling. Internet gambling has the potential to both hamper and benefit the land gambling venues – it’s all a matter of perspective.

Over the past year, as the online casino gambling issue has cropped up in major Congressional debates and discussions, the AGA has remained largely neutral about the Association’s position on the legalization and licensing of the online casino gambling industry. The AGA board meeting in December though was the perfect opportunity for the members to discuss the legalization of internet gambling and their position on the situation. Unfortunately, all of the land casinos were not able to come to a unified POV on the legalization of internet gambling and the AGA is still torn about whether to support online gambling initiatives or to attempt to block new legislation.

There were many in the online casino gambling industry truly hoping that the current economic recession and increased strain on the land gambling venues would soften the companies’ views toward the legalization of the internet gambling industry – that hasn’t been the case however and besides a few casinos that are eager to launch into the US internet gambling industry, there is little support coming out of the AGA.
