of the Month: If
you're up to par on the news feed here at Online Casino
Suite, you would have heard about the latest word
on the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).
And I mean the latest word according to the U.S.
Department of Justice. Not the final word - that's yet
to be determined. Basically, the Interactive Media
Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA), made an
appeal on a judge's ruling that the UIGEA was not
unconstitutional. The U.S. government was given a
deadline to respond to this appeal, which they did,
basically saying that iMEGA does not even have the legal
status to challenge the UIGEA, and that there's nothing
unclear whatsoever about the legislation's enforcement
provisions. Now, it's iMEGA's turn to rebut the
rebuttal, and then some more judges will rule on the
appeal. I know - it's a mess. And frankly, I appreciate
what iMEGA is doing, but I've got my doubts about their
overstated confidence in getting the UIGEA ruled
unconstitutional. I don't mean to be a nay sayer and
skeptic, but the fact of the matter is that there is
some serious opposition (Democrat and Republican) to
completely overturning the UIGEA. I think the best route
is to work with the legislation and update it to give
individual State's the right to regulate online
gambling. 'Cause, guess what? Individual State's are
going to do what they want to do anyways. Need I bring up
Kentucky? |
