Anti-Gambling Online Bills Criticised as Hypocritical and Unconstitutional / 2. May 2006
A new act to prohibit gambling online in the US may pass in the house of Congress as early as June. The bill, introduced by Rep. Jim Leach, called the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act, is a hypocritical effort to protect certain forms of gambling online and offline, in the name of "protecting" America's morals.

Senator John Kyl is also backing the act through Congress and it could easily pass into the Senate as well. Twice in the last seven years similar bills against gambling online passed through both Congress and the Senate, but neither was passed into law by the president.

America is a leader in gambling online, with more than half of worldwide gambling online coming from the US, in a $12 billion industry. While US citizens love gambling, mostly on American sports, the government is pushing to outlaw gambling online.

The US government is planning to dictate to its citizens which websites may be visited by forcing ISPs to ban and block gambling online websites, in a similar way that the internet is controlled in communist China.

Politicians supporting the anti-gambling online bills purport their importance to be necessary for the moral good of the nation, saying that online casinos are a channel for terrorists to launder money and a haven for underage gamblers. However these ridiculous claims have been refuted time and again, and it is clear that politicians like Leach and Kyl only wish to outlaw gambling online is a ploy to protect their own interests in the forms of gambling that are legal in the US, such as Las Vegas casinos and horserace gambling online.

The logic behind this is clear and simple. Gambling online on horseracing at a government controlled website is fine, gambling on poker in a land based casino is legally allowed, and the government promotes national and state lotteries and local bingo halls. Yet internet bingo, online keno and poker gambling online are moral deprivations that should be banned and punished.

Americans have the constitutional right to visit any website available on the net and spend their money wherever they want, even in offshore companies, as long as those companies are operating legally under their local jurisdictions and it's time Americans stand up for those rights and oppose the anti-gambling online bills.
