Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

When making the decision to allow online casinos to advertise within the UK, lawmakers were careful to set up rules to address concerns regarding problem gambling and protecting children.

The latest victim of the ASA is Tombola Bingo, an online bingo site.

Tombola protested that it had consulted with government authorities in the process of designing the commercial and had been careful to stay within gambling guidelines.

California, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and North Dakota are all working toward their own online gambling bill which could allow online gambling in their state.

Rep. Barney Frank talked about $52 Billion dollars in tax revenue that the US could be missing out on with the UIGEA in place, which is one reason he is preparing a bill that would overturn UIGEA.
