Barney Frank’s new bill that supports licensing and regulating the online casino industry is gaining support where it really counts – with the politicians. Just mere weeks ago Frank formally presented his bill for his contemporaries and is now in the process of gaining both American player support, and politicians before he actually presents the bill before Congress. Many of the politicians are beginning to sign on for the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (IGREA) because of both international objection to the current legislation and the argument that it the 2006 UIGEA may in fact infringe on civil liberties.

Barney Frank’s proposed act that would neutralize the Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is gaining more and more support both within the United
States, and at the international level. Countries currently involved in online
casino compensation negotiations with the United States are increasingly
rejecting the idea that politicians and representatives from Washington will
appropriately resolve the international disputes and instead turning on to the
view that international pressure could in fact cause Congress to pass
legislation overturning last year’s online casinos ban. Read the rest of this entry »

Online casino gambling in Sweden may be a largely government run monopoly, but
it seems that Swedes actually prefer the safety and security that comes with
gambling at Svenska Spel. Many in the European Economic Area protest the fact
that the Swedish government still holds a monopoly over online casinos gambling.
And though the European Union is expected to intercede on behalf of the other
countries in the EEA benefiting from a more open internet gambling policy, the
government has no short-term plans to open the Swedish internet gambling market. Read the rest of this entry »

The European Commission has heavily pressured the German government to address
the German legislation that currently bans other EU countries from operating
online casinos in the German market. As internet gambling expands throughout the
European countries though, online casino gambling is growing exponentially and
most EU countries expect open borders within the EU member-states in regards to
free trade agreements. The fact that Germany has discriminatory legislation
specifically protecting in-country online casinos angers both the EU Commission
and many of the other EU member-states. Read the rest of this entry »

The United States is a hotbed of online casinos gambling activity now that the
Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) has openly come under attack
at last month’s Congressional hearing. The Congressional hearing was designed as
a way for industry experts and those sectors that would be affected by the
proposed UIGEA regulations to speak out in support or opposition of the
regulations – the opposition was overwhelming. On April 10th Congressmen Barney
Frank and Ron Paul introduced the controversial bill HR 5767 which will
effectively stop any branches of the government from implementing enforcement
regulations for the UIGEA online casinos gambling ban. Read the rest of this entry »
