Online gambling is out of control in the US
According to Citizen magazine, supporters of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), online gambling is out of control in the United States.
“Gambling has attained unprecedented levels of acceptance, glamorisation and popularity in the United States,” the magazine’s mission statement read.
“Once confined to the remote desert region of Nevada, gambling, in one form or another, is now legal in 48 of the 50 states. Utah and Hawaii remain the only exceptions. Citizens throughout the United States are beginning to see the trail of devastation gambling leaves in its wake.”
“We need citizens to submit comments to our Government about Internet gambling before Dec. 12,” said Chad Hills, Analyst For Gambling Research And Policy at Focus on The Family Action.
“We have more than 800 casinos and 42 lotteries in the United States. The last place we need more gambling is in our homes.”
Chaf Hills is also stating that the American and Canadian policymakers should establish clear policies of effective oversight for tribal gambling operations.
