Are Politicians Listening?

The arguments that have kept the controversial UIGEA in place over the past nearly four years are just not holding up to scrutiny right now as the politicians and members of Congress look at bills and efforts to create a legal and regulated US online casino gambling industry. For the past four years American’s have protested the UIGEA as contrary to their Constitutional freedoms and the politicians supporting the UIGEA have consistently claimed that online casinos are dangerous for the youth of America – a theory that has been blatantly disproved by respected industry research. Over and over again Americans are asking politicians to tax and regulate the internet gambling industry and yet, four years later, the UIGEA is still in place and the politicians are still bickering over the specific legalities of the internet gambling ban.

The online casino gambling debate has even gone far outside of the American public – although voters make up a huge portion of the opposition to the UIGEA and the support for a bill that would regulate, license and tax internet gambling – researchers, the banking industry and other officials have also spoken out about issues with the UIGEA and a need for a new approach. The US banking industry is tops on the list of a respected industry that is practically begging politicians to alter the US online casino gambling policies and legislation. The banks are primarily responsible for blocking transactions between offshore gambling sites and US gamblers and they claim that the legislation simply does not work effectively.

Through all of the debate and appeals from respected industry researchers, financial industry analysts and American voters the politicians are simply not listening. Only in the past month has any real progress been made on the need for new internet gambling regulations and even then it’s slow and tenuous progress at that. The vast majority of America wants change and a handful of US politicians are diverting the issue and ignoring this critical mass asking for new US online gambling laws.
