Likelihood of Online Casino Passage

The online casino gambling industry in the United States is on a roller coaster ride of sorts as new situations, issues, and debates are fired at the gambling industry in rapid succession. Congressman Barney Frank has been actively pursuing neutralization of the UIGEA for years now and it looks as though his bill is just a heartbeat away from Congressional review. But yet that heartbeat turns into two and then three, and the Congressional review for Frank’s bill continues to get pushed back in favor of more pressing issues that are facing the United States. This is not the first time that the online casinos have gotten the shaft from the US government and likely will not be the last. Review of Frank’s bill was supposed to occur during the July Congressional session and then was pushed back to September. Now it looks as though it may have to wait for yet another Congressional session to take place sometime in the coming year.

Unfortunately, this is just one of the challenges facing those supporters of a regulated US online casino gambling industry. In addition to the troubles getting the bill even reviewed by Congress, the climate surrounding the internet gambling industry is constantly fluctuating and there is a growing fear that the political and economic climate will be poised against online casinos at the point that Congress chooses to review and debate Frank’s bill that calls for the licensing and regulation of the US internet gambling industry.

One industry analysts notes that the focus and concerns over the health care package and the US economy are superceding the online casino gambling industry and that some Democrats who might normally support the Frank’s bill might hesitate to pass any new legislation that would further upset the Republicans while the Democrats are attempting to pass health care reform bills.
