Pushing Through Online Casinos

The media attention and international frenzy over legalizing the online casino gambling industry in the United States died down over the past several months because Congress was not in session and there was a bit of a hiatus on the efforts until the pro-internet gambling bills were closer to consideration in the House and Senate. Now that September is upon the industry once again though the attention is ramping up and support for Barney Frank’s bill that would legalize and regulate the foreign and offshore online casinos is gaining increased support. Supporters have actually gone so far as to now advertise in political publications in an effort to increase awareness about Frank’s pro-internet gambling bill that is up in Congress in the coming session.

One of the key arguments at this point in time for the legalization, licensing, and regulation of online casinos is the fact that tax revenue from the internet gambling industry could pay for some of these new programs that the Obama administration is hoping to initiate. One of the big drawbacks to the healthcare initiatives is the fact that there is very little money to actually fund these programs right now and Obama’s team cannot actually say where the money is going to come from. The advertisement’s for Frank’s bill notes that the online casinos will generate millions in additional funds annually – this tax revenue could certainly, in part, fund the health care programs in question.

The online casino gambling debate is hitting new levels as the economic crises in the United States deepens and the current gambling industry legislation is increasingly viewed as a burden on international relations and a possible means for funding needed programs in the US.
