Online Casino Gamblers Support Barney

Congressman Barney Frank that is…internet gamblers in Massachusetts are coming out in droves to show their support for Frank who is running for reelection. Frank is Chair of the House Financial Services Committee and also an avid proponent for legalized online casino gambling in the United States. And while there is certainly support for the Congressman outside of the internet industry, the increased attention on his campaign certainly won’t hurt his campaigning efforts in the state. Frank has a powerful position in Congress and although his efforts to neutralize the UIGEA have not come to fruition yet, he is consistently pushing new legislation and bills that support the online casino gambling industry.

Not are online casino proponents likely to voice their support for Frank and vote or his reelection, but they are also ponying up some funds to support his campaign as well. According to an analysis on his campaign donations, internet gambling supports account for roughly seven percent of his total donations since 2007. The outpouring of support is a direct result of his very vocal support of online casino gambling and also the unique fact that Frank doesn’t even gamble. His support for the industry is based solely on the fact that he believes that the UIGEA unfairly restricts the rights of U.S. citizens.

The UIGEA is basically telling the online casino gamblers what they can do with their money in their free-time and according to Frank oversteps a thin line. Internet gambling can be implemented with limited repercussions and negative effects if done well. Franks IGREA legislation counters the UIGEA and instead pushes for a regulated and licensed online gambling industry that empowers the individual state governments to make their own choice to legalize the activity. And while passage of the IGREA is still a long way off, Frank is certainly making strong steps in the right direction in regards to opening the internet gambling industry.
