Delayed Until the Fall

The whole of the US online casino gambling industry was pretty excited about the prospect of an upcoming hearing for the three internet gambling related bills that were up for discussion. Barney Frank has been spearheading the efforts for years now and there was a glimmering of hope that one of the two bills regarding the UIGEA and offshore online casinos was bound to pass. The hearing was originally scheduled to occur in early July and the PPA had even rallied up the forces to participate in a National Poker Week event to really drive home the notion to politicians that the American public is demanding change in regard to the US stance on offshore internet gambling. The latest news tough indicates that the scheduled proceedings have been delayed to the fall at the earliest.

One of the main concerns right now in the United States is the economy and the harsh economic recession that is affecting everyone throughout the US. There are some critics who have noted that the Obama Administration is hiding behind the economic crises so that he doesn’t have to make decisions on other issues like the online casinos and even gay rights. There is no telling if that’s the truth or not because the US really is still in an economic crises…but does that justify the announcement that hearings for the three gambling related bills have been pushed back to September at the earliest, and likely later?

In the past several months the online casino and poker gambling industry had gained a lot of momentum for their causes. The PPA was activating all of its network to come out and support the bills and now some of those efforts are for naught. Those concerned with the online gambling issue surely feel as though their cause is consistently getting the shaft from the government.
