Some Congress members have made an effort to show how the promise of nearly $72 billion dollars in
revenue may help the states. They are trying to sway federal lawmakers into changing their views on
online gambling. However, so far it hasn't seemed to have worked and there is still very little
consensus on whether or not to legalize online gambling in the US. This is not good news for those
who have been hoping to see more positive reactions which would hopefully soon lead to online
gambling legalization. This just goes to show just how far we still are from seeing online gambling
legal and regulated in the US. If this is any indicator, it could be a long time off, if ever at all.
What now?
For now it appears as if any changes are still far off. However, this can be looked at in a positive light.
The fact that some members of congress are trying to get online gambling considered shows that there is some
stir going on about it and this could lead to a slow acceptance of it. Each person who begins to
look at online gambling differently is one person closer to the possible legalization of it.
Online gambling is in the headlines a lot more lately and players are starting to be more vocal.
All of this can help to push the politicians into taking notice and making changes.
