Royal Flush #1
The united states took the illegal internet gambling enforcement act (uigea) in 2006, does not stop americans from participating in online gambling, even if it prohibits internet gambling, and has limited capacity financial institutions to pay online gambling sites. In particular, the uigea put restrictions on credit card companies and banks to transfer money to play.
International community’s response to the law on internet gambling was to demand that online gamblers to implement electronic portfolios, such as deposit accounts online. The proposed electronic money card portfolios of credit, debit cards, bank accounts and back on and distributors that include gambling sites. For many e-portfolio programs that do not reside in the u.s., the money for gambling on the internet is spent outside the u.s. And thus made outside the provisions of the united states.
So basically the uigea was not effective because people who wanted to play in finding ways to do this. After the uigea became law, is to stop the internet gambling sites, the u.s. And establish international destinations where online gambling is not regulated.
Due to the global financial crisis that began in 2008, congress seriously reconsider the uigea, because if internet gambling were legalized in the u.s., could be regulated and could be a huge source of tax revenue – to give u.s. $ 42 Million by 2020! Although many members of congress have moral objections to gambling in any form, most of them admit that the uigea does not stop americans from gambling online. The political tide seems in favor of the legalization of online gambling in the u.s. Shift, and legislation in this regard was made to the committees in the house of representatives. But from late 2010, is a mystery, where the legislation could go to a floor vote. Congressional elections in november 2010 are often intimidate the representatives of all legislation that is perceived as controversial, it is unlikely that something happened to the legislation until a new congress is seated in 2011. However is a group that benefits from the slowness of the government of the united states, the tribal casino industry. In september 2010, the gaming cake and atlantis internet group have signed an agreement to establish a network of online poker players in tribal casinos in the united states are signatories. This is the first judicial officer of the online poker network in the u.s., offering multi-player online poker across state borders for money. At least 30 states to connect to the network of tribal gaming, tribal casinos that offer online poker. It is under the uigea, due to the legal status of indigenous areas, specific legal.
Some states are considering online gambling in the state, but the pace of legislation in these states is slow, especially in an election year. Tribal casinos have been presented and the benefits of the indecision of the state and federal legislators to take, knowing that potentially hundreds of thousands of poker players who are a legal alternative to internet casinos at sea wants.
