Online Casino Bill Voting This Week

A key moment for Barney Frank is taking place this week as the House Financial Services Committee is slated to debate and markup HR 2267, the online casino gambling regulation bill that would legalize, license, and tax gambling sites entering the US market. Congressman Frank has spent more than three years developing and shaping this bill for passage and there is a very real hope that Congress no longer delays and dawdles on this particular bill. HR 2267 has been debated for months now and more than one Congressional hearing about the situation really served as a way for pro-regulated gambling enthusiasts to point out all of the key reasons that the US is in desperate need of a new gambling bill with the oversight and control of online casinos that HR 2267 would provide the government.

The bill passing process through Congress is lengthy at the best of times and drags into eternity if there the members of Congress are pretty evenly weighed on either side. In this case, the online casino gambling bill has been delayed and stopped mostly by the religious right over the past several years and a couple of key politicians who passed the controversial UIGEA gambling ban in the first place. The question that has been raised in the past several months now comes down to both American civil liberties and a lack of enforceability by the banking industry. Blocking online casinos infringes on the rights of Americans to choose their leisure time activities and the US banking industry claims that there is no truly effective way for the companies and banks to fully stop gambling transactions.

The current state of gambling in Congress is largely looking positive for HR 2267 and Barney Frank’s pro-online casino gambling legislation because of the amount of support from corresponding and related industries that are asking and begging Congress to consider HR 2267 as a very viable and needed alternative to the UIGEA.
