Article about UIGEA argument in court.

Read this article in local paper today. Not much here, but any argument about the “UIGEA” in court, always a good thing. Even without most U.S. players the dollar amount is still growing. Imagine if it were to become legal in the U.S.! With the U.S.’s present condition, the potential 6 to 8 billion dollar tax revenue may be too hard for the U.S. to overlook. Things can look up for U.S. next year. Anyhow, here is the article.


ONLINE BETTING DEFENDED
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. A gambling industry group argued in federal court yesterday that a new federal law against transmitting online bets outside the United States violates people’s right to gamble in the privacy of their own homes.

The group’s lawyers said that, because filtering technology already exists to make sure children and compulsive gamblers cannot access offshore betting sites, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act serves only to stifle gambling companies.

The federal government has not yet applied the law.

The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association, which sued the federal government in U.S. District Court in Trenton this summer, wants the law declared unconstitutional.

The U.S. justice Department wants the lawsuit dismissed. Judge Mary L. Cooper heard arguments in the case yesterday and expects to rule within 30 days.

Edward Leyden, president of the industry association, said the law is limiting an industry whose revenues he estimated at $50 billion to $60 billion a year. He said the online gambling industry wants the government to monitor and even tax it.
