Facing the fact that some members of the House have been repeatedly trying to block online gambling operations, lobbyists for this fertile Internet casino and poker room industry are fighting opposition on Capitol Hill. Vehement gambling advocates argue that the online betting sector gives a major boost to U.S. economy and that, currently, as many as 80 countries around the globe allow online gambling in some form.
Although the Justice Department has always treated online gambling as an illegal activity, it has not stopped the gambling sector from flourishing. Accordingly, many gambling industry insiders reportedly believe that the odds of an anti-gambling bill becoming law in 2006 appear to be long.
Nevertheless, Representative Jim Leach, a fervent Internet casino opponent and gambling prohibition bill co-author, was reported as saying, the he believed that there were no social benefits to online poker and casino websites. According to Leach, not only can Internet gambling be highly addictive, but from a moral perspective, it also drives family members apart and constitutes a great danger to minors.
