U.S. House Committee Votes in Favor of Online Gambling Regulation Bill
Jul 29th
Should it become law, the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act of 2009 would establish a federal regulatory and enforcement framework under which Internet gambling operators could obtain licenses authorizing them to accept bets and wagers from individuals in the United States. The Act passed in the House Financial Services Committee by margin of 41-22 and must now go through both the full House and Senate before becoming law. According to the Committee, the legislation comes in response to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which restricted the use of the payments system for Americans who gamble online. The new act will require licensees to take appropriate safeguards to prevent fraud, money laundering, underage and compulsive gambling.
