Congress member strives for the prohibition of online poker game and virtual gambling
The U.S. government has once again demonstrated the fact that they do not take the step with today’s virtual world. It is already known that the United States , the Agreement (Antigua 2004) with the World Trade Organization in the field of online gambling violated. Several attempts to get the Americans to visit the virtual Poker room and casinos to ban also came a few times in the past (the most famous story is with the Arizona Senator Jon Kyl connected), but were rejected until now. This sad experience, however, the efforts of the Congress members are not stopped, after the virtual prohibition of gambling to strive.
The original bill was submitted to Congress in 2000, found a strong appeal, but was unexpectedly rejected. The whole process was designed by lobbyist Jack Abramoff influenced the interests of the gambling industry represented. The bill Good lattés brought nothing new. It includes the main idea of previous attempts; the virtual gaming industry should be banned.
The first version of the Good bar bill which sought to ban the Internet for gambling and to use the money transfers using credit cards on the sides of the offshore virtual gambling to stop. Most, if not all, the credit card companies take such financial activities, so would the famous draft fierce debate. The draft law has been modernized, reworked and found new supporters in Congress. The Virginia Members Rick Boucher and Frank Wolf support Bob Good latte. More information about this modernised draft hoped this week.
Since the safety of customers on the main aspects of international transactions, is this attempt, the virtual gambling ban to fail. After the financial institutions of the United States the use of credit cards for transactions in the field of virtual gambling limited, are the efforts of the people who prepared this draft law, meaningless, because according to the solution of the problem ensure that did not exist . With the arrests of people with the poker, or just visit the virtual casinos, runs America against all democratic and legal principles.
Instead of the pointless debates about the legality of virtual gambling continue, the Government of the United States after another and logical way to look far to get the most benefit from the situation of virtual gambling games. With reasonable measures, which the companies in the virtual games of the law would give law in the United States to realize their business, would satisfy all sides. Large tax revenues and microbars revival and the American stock markets are only some advantages in this area. Most virtual poker rooms and casinos pursue the goal of financial stability and safety of customers to guarantee. It is a pity that the people who today in the United States Congress embody the statutory power, so closely think no advantage of the situation and see no signs of positive change.
