Democrats in Control

The election of Barack Obama last November was about the only hope that the online casino gambling industry had for actually seeing a change in US internet gambling legislation. With the Obama Administration comes an majority Democratic Congress and, unfortunately, a failing US economy. The offshore online casinos and US supporters of a regulated internet gambling market have long hoped that the new administration would take on the internet gambling issue and rectify the havoc that was wreaked by the UIGEA and the controversial support legislations that were also passed through.

One of the key problems though facing the industry is the fact that the economic crisis in the US has totally eclipsed nearly every other problem that has come to pass. The Democrats may largely support the online casino gambling legislation, and maybe the gambling related bills would pass if they ever made it up for a vote – but they aren’t even making it up for consideration because the government has delayed the hearings so that Congress can focus on economy and healthcare related legislation and bills.

That’s the burn right now for the online casino gambling supporters, the fact that they internet gambling bills have a lot of support from the Democrats, and even a few Republicans, but they just haven’t had the time of day for consideration. The three key online gambling related bills were up for consideration and scheduled for a hearing this month, but last week a vote decided to push the internet gambling related legislation back until they meet for the next session – sometime in September/the fall.
