A Thanks for Evangelical Christians

Now, it might be a bit controversial to attribute the lack of online casino gambling regulations in the US to the lobbying power of the Evangelical Christians, but that is actually just about precisely one of the key reasons that the new gambling regulations that would repeal the UIGEA have still not passed into law. The online casinos have a lot of powerful support in the US Congress…but it just isn’t enough to counteract the lobbying dollars and efforts of the religious right. There is a lot of money being thrown at the internet gambling industry right now, on both sides of the debate, and so far, the detractors of a legalized internet gambling industry are winning.

There’s just one key problem with this scenario though, the Evangelical religious groups are not issuing forth valid claims as they attempt to block the internet gambling industry – it’s actually all misinformation and false claims. The “facts” and information supplied by the fundamentalists on the right has been debunked and proven false by research centers all over the world. Chad Hills, a vocal representative for Focus on the Family, claims that online casinos are “the most dangerous, most invasive form of gambling ever developed.” But yet the facts just don’t hold this to be true accord to the Harvard Medical School.

The biggest issue though is the fact that this Evangelical right has a lot of lobbying money to through into the fray and their efforts, false claims, and mis-education of Congressional representatives can be directly linked to why new bills to legalize and license the online casinos have still not passed into law.
