Online gambling laws cause storm
Online gambling should be regulated rather than prohibited, according to an internet casino portal.
The decision by the US government to outlaw internet gambling has caused a storm among fans, with many companies and individuals lobbying for a change in legislation.
Gamblux.com is fighting against the US Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act 2006 (UIGEA), which came into effect in October 2006.
In the UK, the 2006 Gambling Act, regulates and moderates the remote gaming and gambling industries and Gamblux wants to see the legislation used as a blue print for the United States.
The portal has places a series of articles supporting the regulation rather than the prohibition of online gambling and attempting to raise public awareness of problems with consistency in relation to the law.
Rumours that online poker may be exempted from the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act are unlikely to come true, despite attempts by US gamers to persuade lawmakers that it is a game of skill and so should not be covered by the legislation.
