Online Gambling will be legalized soon
Legalized online gambling could soon become a reality, said John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance. He think it’s going to happen very soon.
Pappas says lawmakers in Washington, D.C., as well as in the state of California, have introduced bills legalizing online poker. He says all they’re asking for is regulation over an industry that already exists. Online Poker has been around for over 10 years now, but it’s primarily been operated by companies who operate offshore, out of the jurisdiction of the United States.
*Pappas says software already exists that can ensure someone under the age of 18 can’t access other pay sites, and that could be used for online poker*.
Another concern people have is giving problem gamblers a new place to feed their addiction. But American Gaming Association communications director Holly Thomsen says there are ways to deal with that, too. However, Thomsen says her group is stopping short of endorsing legislation making online gambling legal. She says they’ve remained neutral on all Internet gambling bills, except for supporting a study on whether it could be regulated. (Thomsen says there are some members of their organization who want legislation on a federal level, while others want states to regulate it).
