On September 29th, the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA), filed an appeal with the Third Circuit Court as part of their bid to have the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) declared unconstitutional. This, in turn, gave the U.S. government a deadline to respond to the appeal, which will then go before a panel of judges for a final ruling. Indeed, the U.S. has made their argument, and not surprisingly, it still stands behind the UIGEA, stating the law is perfectly clear as opposed to the claim by iMEGA and many others (including several notable U.S. politicians) that the UIGEA is vague and non-enforceable. Specifically, iMEGA is arguing that the UIGEA does not provide a solid definition of what constitutes illegal online gambling, especially considering the carveouts provided for horseracing, lottery and fantasy football. The U.S. DOJ, however, asserts the law is not flawed and further attempted to shoot down iMEGA by saying they have no legal standing to question the UIGEA. But now, it's not just iMEGA who is questioning the efficacy of the UIGEA.
