Support grows for United States Casino gambling

Rep. Barney Frank sees the odds improving for repealing a long-sought Internet United States gambling ban.
The chairman of the House Financial Services Committee believes the recent seizure of millions of dollars in
online poker receipts only strengthens his hand because it reminds voters and politicians how sweeping — and potentially unclear — the existing law is.
"It helps," Frank said after the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York seized, or froze, $34 million in bank accounts belonging to 27,000 online poker players.
The eloquently acerbic Massachusetts Democrat will spend the bulk of this year helping the Obama administration reregulate Wall Street in response to last fall’s financial collapse. But he also wants another crack at rewriting the ban on Internet United States gambling.
Even his Republican counterpart, who led a charge last year to defeat legislation gutting the law, believes Frank is holding much better cards in the current Congress than he had in the last one.
"It’s going to be an uphill battle to stop it this time," said Alabama Rep. Spencer Bachus, the ranking Republican on the Financial Services Committee and a longtime United States gambling opponent who calls the pastime the nation’s "fastest-growing addiction."
"We caught them off guard last time," he said. "This time, they won’t be off guard."
The question is how far Frank wants to go in rewriting the current law. Banks, credit card companies and other financial institutions he oversees are asking Congress for more clarity in how to police the current ban, since they bear the onus for blocking payments to United States gambling websites overseas.
Frank, though, introduced legislation last month that goes much further. It would create a licensing and regulatory framework that would allow Americans to play poker and place other bets on government-approved websites — an ambitious proposal that could eventually generate billions of dollars in much-needed revenues for states or the
federal government.
Whatever path he pursues, any rewrite faces stiff resistance in the Senate from Jon Kyl, the Arizona Republican who worked for years to enact the current law.
It has a long, sordid past on Capitol Hill. An Army of well-funded
lobbyists — led, in part, by Jack Abramoff — overcame the pleas of Christian conservatives to repeatedly block it. Authors made a string of critical concessions over the years, and Congress approved the Unlawful Internet United States gambling Enforcement Act in 2006 after then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), in a nod to the Christian conservative voters he was courting for a potential White House bid, quietly attached the legislation to a must-pass port security bill right before leaving office.
Last summer, Frank tried to pass a bill requiring the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve to define explicitly what types of United States gambling are not sanctioned under the ban, after financial firms argued that the current law remains too vague and difficult for them to enforce. But a late surge of opposition resulted in a deadlock that forced Frank to abandon his bill.

Player at Intertops' new Red Casino USA wins $200K

Only two weeks after Intertops opened the new Intertops RED USA Casino it has already had its first big winner. A player known as "Christopher T" won $200,090 playing the T-Rex slot machine. Known for their quick processing, Intertops Red Casino has already started paying the lucky winner.

Intertops recently launched its RED USA Casino on the RTG platform in order to continue serving its many loyal American players.

The lucky winner started with $300 and had been playing on the T-Rex slot machine all evening until he was up more than $70,000. He didn't even win one of the many lucrative progressive jackpots, but played a regular slot game.

"I decided to take a break. But after a while I wanted to continue my winning streak and finally ended up with $200,090!" said the winner. "Maybe I should use some of my winnings to go to Washington and check out the dinosaurs at the Smithsonian!"

T-Rex is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot machine, one of dozens of slot machines and video poker games at the casino which include the Real Series Video Slots. The casino also features the Aztec's Millions slot machine with a current jackpot of over $1.1 million, as well as the Cleopatra's Gold slot machine with a current jackpot of nearly $200k. The biggest progressive jackpot currently available at the Intertops RED Casino is Jackpot Pinatas: At more than $1.3 million it is the largest progressive jackpot available to US players.

The new Intertops RED Casino features more than 300 instant play and download games including 3 and 5 reel slots, multi-hand video poker, and traditional casino favorites from 3-card rummy to
internet blackjack, roulette and keno. Intertops RED Casino currently has a total jackpot pool of more than $4 million.

In 1997, the online business moved to Antigua while the traditional sports betting business remained in Austria. 1998 saw the launch of one of the first online casinos. In 2001, the innovative company developed the first igaming WAP site, enabling it to be the first to offer mobile bets. By 2003 Intertops began online poker operations, progressing to online skill-based gaming in under a year.

video poker leagalized by Illinois Senate

The Illinois state Senate overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to legalize video poker, boost liquor taxes and allow lottery wagering over the Internet to help support a $26 billion statewide construction package that is expected to reach Gov. Quinn's desk.

What would be the first public works program in a decade passed the Senate on a series of bipartisan roll calls and would, according to Sen. Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale), end a "decade of decay" that festered on the state's roads, bridges and public buildings under impeached ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

The gridlock we've been going through for six years has ended,' said Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago), who carried the package, which taps a combination of federal and state money.


The House still must sign off before it goes to Quinn, but Cullerton predicted House passage today.
"To pay for it, senators voted 47-12 to legalize video poker in bars, restaurants, veterans halls and truck stops. The state will tax the machines at a 30 percent rate, raising $375 million annually.

The package includes big changes at the state lottery. A pilot program would be established in 2010 to allow lottery wagering over the Internet. Additionally, management of the lottery would be turned over to a private firm. Both moves are expected to raise $150 million annuall

USA Online Gambling Bill could get a shot

Rep. Barney Frank might have come up snake eyes in his previous efforts to legalize online casino gambling but he’s stepping up to the table again with a bill that would authorize the Treasury Department to regulate online wagering.

And there’s another shooter in his corner: Jim McDermott , D‑Wash., who sits on the Ways and Means Committee, introduced a bill (HR 2268) that would provide for the collection of associated tax revenues.

Both bills were introduced May 6.
Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat and chairman of the Financial Services Committee, took pains to suggest that his prime motive for introducing his bill was to ensure Americans’ freedom to spend their money as they please.

“The government should not interfere with people’s liberty unless there’s a good reason,” Frank said. But he also acknowledged that, in a time of economic turmoil, the additional revenue wouldn’t hurt.
McDermott’s chief of staff, Mike DeCesare, said that over 10 years, the revenue bill could put $43 billion in federal coffers and even more in states’. It would establish a 2 percent tax on deposits made into Internet wagering accounts.

Undoing Earlier Laws
Frank’s bill would establish a regulatory procedure through which online gambling outfits would have to be licensed in order to accept bets from players in the United States, as long as the state in which a gambler lived did not bar the practice.

This would largely do away with a 2006 law (PL 109-347), pushed through by the Republican leadership as part of a larger port security measure, that was aimed at choking off online betting through restrictions on payment processing.

Robert W. Goodlatte , R-Va., who supports those restrictions, said May 6 that Frank’s measure not only guts that 2006 law but makes online gambling explicitly legal.
“Apparently, Rep. Frank believes that [Treasury Secretary] Timothy Geithner can do a better job at enforcing our nation’s criminal laws than the Department of Justice, which is scary considering [Geithner’s] track record on complying with the tax code,” he said.

The executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, John Pappas, says his 1 million members support Frank’s bill. The group, formed mostly as a grass-roots backlash against the 2006 law, has come into its own; last year it set up a political action committee that contributed $43,553 to congressional campaigns, including $4,950 to Frank’s.


And Pappas’ side now has even greater clout: In a reversal from past battles, Harrah’s Entertainment, one of the largest brick-and-mortar USA casinos gaming companies in the world, has thrown its weight — and its money — behind such legislation. Harrah’s ramped up its lobbying last year, spending more than $405,000 — a large chunk of which was in support of a measure, similar to the one announced May 6, that also was introduced by Frank.

Support for online betting from a company that operates traditional casinos significantly alters the landscape, as such businesses have usually been silent on — or actively opposed to — online wagering, believing it cuts into their bottom line.

“There was some concern from some of the people that are in the offline gaming community. There’s still some,” Frank said. But he pointed to the fact that Shelley Berkley , D-Nev., has signed on as a cosponsor of his bill as evidence of their support.

In the past, Frank’s bills supporting online gambling have been stymied in part by lingering concerns that loosening restrictions on Internet wagering would open the floodgate to a host of social ills. Conservative Christian groups, like Focus on the Family, argue that the 24-hour availability of online gambling makes it particularly easy to develop an addiction. Moreover, the groups contend, online sites make gambling too easy for underage youths.

Frank said he has yet to speak with congressional leaders or the Obama administration about the measure, but he plans to do so soon. The White House did not return calls seeking comment.
At the behest of professional sports leagues, Frank said his legislation would exempt online wagering on sports matches, even though they have long been a favorite of bookies and gamblers alike.

“The expression by the professional leagues of shock at the notion that people would actually bet on games was one of the least persuasive emotional outbursts I have encountered, but we acknowledged the reality of it,” he said. “No one will be betting on professional sports games.”

Minnesota banned sites list includes only 44 casinos that accept players from the U.S.

Only 44 of the 200 casino gambling Web sites that Minnesota's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division want to block from its residents actually accept players from the state, according. That means just 22 percent of the sites AGED wants to block affect Minnesota residents.

Last week, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) announced that it had instructed 11 national and regional telephone and Internet service providers to prohibit access of all Minnesota-based computers to nearly 200 online gambling websites. On Friday, the AGED released the list.

Of the 44 online casinos USA, only eight are listed on Online Casino City's Top 25 casinos available to U.S. residents (Bodog, English Harbour, Slot Land, Club Player, Las Vegas USA, Slots Plus, Slots of Vegas, Caribbean Gold Casino). Other prominent names on the list include Full Tilt Poker, Everest Poker, Golden Palace, Intertops Casino, Ladbrokes Casino, Titan Poker and William Hill Casino.

AGED Director John Willems defended the Minnesota list saying that it was a "random sampling" of sites. But Interactive Media and Entertainment & Gaming Association (iMEGA) Chairman Joe Brennan Jr. questioned "how much thought was put into the selection of these sites."
