Today, June the 24th, the US House Committee on Financial Services will vote on whether or not to dissolve the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which made it illegal for credit card companies to process online gaming and gambling transactions.
Jeffrey Sandman, who is the representative for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative, says: "Congress has studied this issue and heard from the financial services community and federal regulators that the current ban on internet gambling is burdensome and doomed to fail." To this he added: "Now it is time for Congress to change course and find a way to protect the millions of Americans that are continuing to gamble online."
