Two Members of America’s House of Representatives have published an editorial in the New York Post newspaper outlining why they believe in regulating online casinos rather than banning them.
Representatives Steve Israel, a Democrat, and Republican Pete King were original co-signers of Barney Frank’s Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (IGREA), House of Representatives Bill 2046, and said that the Treasury Department is in charge of a number of jobs, including protecting the President, investigating counterfeit money and tracking terrorist financing and should not be made to look after the ban on online casinos.
The Treasury Department is now being asked ‘to spend their time and resources going after something far more trivial, people who play cards from their home computers’, the two Long Island Representatives wrote.
The article, Web Gambling: Tax, Don’t Ban, even pointed out that ‘years ago, the Treasury’s Secret Service agents used to help Harry Truman put poker games together in the White House. Now they’d be locking him up. Frankly, Federal law-enforcement officials have bigger fish to fry’, the Congressmen affirmed.
Frank’s Bill would see online gambling licensed and regulated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and exempt from the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) with players having to pay tax.
‘Simply taxing web betting would generate significant revenues that could be used for a variety of domestic priorities,’ the duo pointed out.
As US residents will always find ways to gamble online, Israel and King said that the ban is misdirected and unenforceable and, ironically, leads to an increase in the unprotected environments that UIGEA claimed to address.
This is because, the two claim, a bans pushes businesses into the hands of ‘scam artists and grey market entrepreneurs’ based in unregulated offshore locations.
The piece ends by saying, ‘In the end, there is the question of how much we want Government to be involved in our private lives. For many, playing poker with friends on the Internet is a way to unwind at the end of the day. Technology aside, web gambling isn’t so different than the way Americans have relaxed and enjoyed the company of friends for decades.’

In response to the UIGEA (the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) Congressman Barney Frank introduced the IGREA (the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act).  As the name suggests, the IGREA’s aim is to undo the UIGEA and make online gambling fully legal in the US, with the government issuing licenses to operators and regulating any online gambling activities that take place in the country.

In order for the Act to move along in the process towards being passed, Frank must gain support from his fellow representatives.  The act requires a total of at least 218 votes in order for it to simply be passed on for ratification by the Senate.  About eleven Representatives spoke up with their support when Frank introduced the Bill in April, and recently, the support for Bill 2046 has received even more support.

The House of Representative’s Anthony Weiner (from New York), Anthony Weiner (from Mississippi), Maryland Representative Albert Russel Wynn, New Jersey’s Steven Rothman and California’s Michael Honda are the five latest members of congress to speak out and offer their support to Frank and his IGREA.  

The addition of the latest five now brings the total co-sponsors of the Act up to thirty-two, nearly three times it’s original amount.  And thanks to the increase in interest and support for the bill, more politicians have been encouraged to perhaps re-examine the bills intentions as well as the UIGEA’s implications.

Franks bill has not only received the support of his fellow representatives, but also from the a number of businesses and associations.  Included in this list is the PPA (the Poker Players Alliance).  The PPA is a non-profit group whose intention is to speak out and promote and ensure the integrity of poker and to protect US poker players’ rights.  They have not only spoken out in support of Frank’s IGREA but they also support Robert Wexler, who has introduced the Skill Games Protection Act, an act that embraces poker as a skill game.  

“We are strongly supporting two of these bills, Congressman Barney Frank’s HR 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, and Congressman Robert Wexler’s HR 2610, the Skill Games Protection Act,” said Alfonse D’Amato, Chairman of the PPA.

William Hill, one of the online gambling industries more recognizable brands, is moving their operations base to Gibraltar.  The famous sportsbook currently runs operations out of the Netherland Antilles, alongside a number of other popular online gambling destinations such as Interpoker, Littlewoods casino and Betfred.  

The move is suspected to be the result of a change in the UK’s recent advertising ban against gambling operations that operate outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).  This ban is set to commence on September 1st.  

As you may have guessed, the Netherland Antilles is not a member of the EEA, but Gibraltar sure is (and is home to a number of top brands including 888.com and PartyGaming).  By making the move to Gibraltar, William Hill can maintain all advertising efforts, which could only strengthen their position of being a top brand in the gambling world, as nearly a thousand other companies will be left without a voice in the UK when the ban commences.  

Although the law currently bans UK advertising from non EEA countries, not all is lost for some.  If the jurisdiction can pass a strict assessment of their regulatory standards then they will be granted an exemption from the ban.  Unfortunately for those operating out of the Netherland Antilles, the region did not pass the assessment.  So perhaps we will begin to see a number of relocations occurring in the next little while.
