US Government Last In Race To Legalize Online Gambling

[CareyG]

The US government prides itself on being out in front of the curve on important economical and social issues. That is one of the reasons that President Obama recently called for other countries to keep the Internet free.

In the US, however, the government has not backed up the requests of the president. While President Obama has criticized how other countries restrict their citizens, the US is dealing with their own prohibitions in regards to Internet gambling.

The US has fallen behind such countries as Italy, Germany, France, and the Netherlands in Europe. The UK has developed one of the most free online gambling communities, and they have prospered with billions of dollars and citizens that trust the government to make important decisions.

Even Canada has moved ahead of the US in the online gambling industry. Several provinces in Canada have already regulated online gambling, and more are soon to follow. All the while, the US government has continued to alienate their citizens by keeping the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in place.

So very true!

When oh when will the online gambling ban be lifted? I hope it won't take too long anymore.

I still dont understand how the US Gov can keep you from playing at many casinos...how do they do it? Here in Sweden the goverment itself runs the one and only allowed gambling company...with 50% payouts and the rest goes into the goverment to the same place that our taxmoney goes to....but still we swedes can play any online casino we like...except Boss Media(which is swedish)...at least it was like that some years ago...

It seem the US Gov have manage to threat your banks and internet providers by locking accounts and websites...hmm...sounds like North Korea in my ears... Dont you have any old law about its illeagal to theat or blackmail private companys and other organisations?

It's surprising that they take their time, because it's a HUGE source of income for the US Government.
