Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) today introduced HR 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007 that would create an exemption to the ban on online gambling for properly licensed operators, allowing Americans to lawfully bet online. The legislation would establish a system to protect online financial transactions and block children and compulsive gamblers from gambling online.

    Spam emails announcing a free lotto award or acquiring the funds of some deceased customer of any bank around the globe are being received at a very high pace. If the person concerned agrees with the thought of the mail sender, he is financially destroyed and when he expresses his inability to pay a single penny the emails stop. This is a very famous form of internet gambling. Western countries are earning a huge amount of tax by this gambling later on used for destroying the global peace.

    Regulated gambling on line can be implemented with secure player protection. This can be to the benefit of government and casino alike. Online
    gambling may very well limit gambling addiction and be a path to responsible gaming. Gambling is only a word for those who do not understand the mechanics of
    games of chance, and may well do to be more educated in the entertainment value. Jady Davis

    Every government in the world is chomping at the bit to regulate the internet. Don’t let them get their foot in the door.

    It should send up all kinds of red flags because this bill will effectively remove all competition from the market and place sole power over the industry in the hands of one single US Government Agency - giving ONE person the power to enforce the regulations - The Director of Financial Crimes and Enforcement.

    As expected the Port Safety Bill was unanimously approved in the Senate. Once it passed and they scared the beejeezus out of everyone by going after the big online processing companies, they now offer us another and call it a “repeal” to calm our fears.

    This is a good example of how politicians scam us. First, the UIGEA did not receive a formal vote in the entire Congress so they tacked it onto an unrelated Port Safety Bill, hoping no one would read it (which they didn’t or it wouldn’t have passed.) There was no debate over it and it was submitted 15 minutes prior to the vote, so the chance anyone COULD read it were slim. The Port Safety Bill was sure to pass at that point since most of the Senators had already cast their vote and left.

    This is a typical political ploy. They call it something it isn’t and get you to vote for it based on what they call it. That doesn’t mean it IS what they call it. This additional legislation is designed purely to correct the UIGEA’s inadequacies that are being challenged in the courts already.

    The Barny Frank Bill of 2007 is being called a repeal bill. Barny Frank’s claim that his bill will create an exemption to the ban on online gambling is simply not true. at this time).The word repeal does not appear in it. It does not take 26 pages to repeal a bill and this one is just being tacked onto the end of the UIGEA. It doesn’t repeal anything and is additional legislation that will put more restrictions on the industry.

    As the MA Representative for the Poker Players Alliance, I applaud Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) for stepping up to the plate and undoing one of the most ludicrous bills ever presented and passed in congress (UIGEA). We poker players are ever grateful to those political figureheads who are in support of repealing the UIGEA! Thank you very much!

    So why not pass a federal law that overrides all state laws against gambling and casinos?
