Will America Ever Accept Online Betting? | IXGAMES
 U.S. WILL LIKELY SOON ALLOW ONLINE GAMBLING
Almost certainly, soon the U.S. Players will allow online wagering, supporting leading gambling authority Professor I. Nelson Roses claim that, “No United States federal statute or regulation explicitly prohibits Internet gambling, either domestically or abroad.” 
Despite this, the US government insisted online gambling illegal and used the Wire Act and other laws to enforce compliance. But one U.S. legislator is going to try and change all this. Representative Barney Frank, (D. Mass.), has proposed legislation called the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007 (IGREA), which would legalize online gaming. It allows return of online gaming, but makes registration much harder than current practice. Christopher Costigan, President of the gambling study site Gambling911, said, This was not quite what the industry was expecting…the licensing, taxation, and the background checks. Overall the standards are pretty stringent. It will probably pass in at least some form. But the bill will also stop many would-be proprietors in their tracks because of the new beefy background checks.
