USers Love Online Casinos

There was a theory at some point in the United States that the UIGEA would eventually strengthen enough to actually keep online casinos and internet gambling companies out of the market…that hasn’t happened yet. The UIGEA is a flawed and ineffective piece of legislation aimed at keeping foreign online casino gambling companies from accessing US gamblers – there has been a lot of controversy since the bills passage, however, because internet gambling is still prevalent but now unregulated and under the table. The US has just made a bit of a prohibition that pits online gamblers going to the “black market” of sorts to fulfill their internet gambling activity. Because the UIGEA does not effectively stop internet gambling, some states, like Minnesota, have considered implementing new legislation to block internet casinos at the Internet Service Provider level.

Minnesota has a lot of online casino gamblers in the population and the Department of Public Safety in the state has been trying to push through efforts that would make the ISPs block a list of 200 internet gambling related sites. But not everyone feels that this move is necessary. Pat Garofalo has introduced some new legislation that would stop the DPS from carrying out and enforcing the ISP block. The online casinos outcried at proposed block but no one expected Garofalo, a Republican representative, to support the internet gambling companies in this way.

Garofalo’s reasons were pretty straight forward – why is the Department of Safety placing so much emphasis and effort on blocking and banning something that falls into the private sector. This is a growing argument in support of the online casinos – that the government has no place in blocking it because it occurs in a citizen’s leisure time and from the privacy of their own homes.
