Against Legal Online Casinos

There has been a huge push in the United States over the past several months as a lot of politicians and state governments begin to assert their support for new federal regulations that allow for a legalized and regulated US gambling market. At the same time, although there is an increasing level of support, there are also still that handful of politicians and legislators who feel that the offshore online casinos should stay well away from the US market and that the UIGEA is the perfect piece of legislation to keep these companies out of the US. Indiana’s US Attorney General just recently announced via letter to that he does not support any of the new bills that would legalize online casino gambling in the US. Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s letter was specifically addressed to the House Ways and Means Committee and highlighted a very real side to the debate – the fact that US states are asking for the right to pass their own internet gambling laws.

Zoeller’s letter pointed out that the current opposition to the online casinos is completely valid but beyond underage and problem gambling issues Zoeller is concerned that the federal government is taking too big of a step by either regulating the online casinos or banning them. Each individual US state has the right to pass some of their own policies regarding a wide range of subjects outside of the online casinos and Indiana is one of the states that would like to keep those rights firmly in place.

Naturally though, other interest groups opposing the online casino gambling industry have used Zoeller’s concerns that US states are losing the ability to regulate themselves and taken off from their with rhetoric about the ruined credit scores and severe gambling addictions that will result from legalized US gambling.
