New Moves to Regulate US Poker
Happier times may be ahead for US based poker players as Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey has set about with new efforts to regulate and legalise online poker in the country.
The Internet Poker and Games of Skill Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act, apart from being a bit of a mouthful seeks to recognise the legality of online poker and other games of skill through licensed and regulated gaming site.
The main emphasis is on preventing underage gambling and addicted gamblers being controlled.
“Pulling internet poker out of the shadows and into the light of the law, we have the opportunity to help our economy while protecting our families,” said Senator Menendez.
“By bringing these games of skill into the mainstream, we can generate billions in revenue for businesses and the Treasury during these tough times. The safety benefits of the bill are particularly crucial.”
This way of thinking was championed by UK law-makers and so far has proved to be the most worhwhile and acceptable way forward for all parties.
