Online Casinos a Way of Life

America is nearing a new age in the online casino gambling industry as Congressional Representative Barney Frank saw that House Financial Services Committee pass his long awaited bill, HR 2267. The bill has been working toward this moment for several years now and as the bill went for markup and debate in the Committee Frank took that opportunity to speak in support of the bill and give it context before the discussions and markup began. Although there so much always said about why the UIGEA should be repealed, there is an equally compelling case for the passage of online casino gambling measures. Frank highlighted the fact that internet gambling restrictions go beyond the acceptable government controls and infringe on civil liberties.

The government’s place is to only restrict the choice of American citizens when it comes down to protecting citizens from harm – that has long been the only true way that the government would choose to step in and take away personal choices. In this case though, the personal choice was not fully considered when the government took away personal choice to gamble at the online casinos and passed the UIGEA through without any debate. Frank’s key argument for HR 2267 stems from the fact that it will bring back an essential freedom to American citizens while also bringing a safer model to the legislative system.

It’s no surprise that Spencer Bachus was the main opponent to Frank’s main points and that his argument is far from solid. Bachus noted that the choice of online casino gambling should be put to the states to decide and not forced – an issue he never previously fought for until now, as the HR 2267 gets increasingly close to passage.
