Senate Pushes for
Online Casino Rider
Sept. 29-06
The Senate has been making bold
endeavors to come to a clear stance on the matter of online
casino gambling. The institution has been treated as though it
were a breech of law even though there is no evidence which
suggest this.
Senator Frist who has made every
indication that he is against the utilization of online casinos,
and in his few they have no place in the U.S. market.
If the Bill is passed there we be little that internet gambling
sites can do aside from shutting down their American portals and
drawing attentions to other countries.
Members of the Senate tried to attach the prohibitive online
casino bill to a military initiative. Fortunately for the casino
industry, the Department of Defense refused to attach the bill
stating that it had nothing top do with national security.
The primary target of the online
casino controversy seems to be sites that allow and facilitate
sports betting.
Other types of internet gambling that involves games such as
roulette and poker, haven't been receiving as much governmental
pressures. Executives from companies of this type have not yet
been
brought up on criminal charges.
The Senate's inefficiency to pass
definitive legislation concerning this issue is part of the reason
the industry has had the opportunity to become such an intrinsic
part of the U.S. economy.
It has taken ten years for the HR4411
bill, which threatens to shut down the industry as a whole, to
even be derived.
Senator Frist makes his stance clear
when he states, "Bottom line, internet gambling is illegal". The
only problem he is facing is the having the law to back up his
notion.
Members of the Senate are currently
pushing for the bill to be a rider and want it to be attached to a
larger bill. The legislative battle with online casinos continues
in the meantime.
