Now that it has been four years since the passing of the UIGEA, it’s difficult to find anyone who still supports it.

Even those who are opposed to online gambling still find the wording of the law too vague, and due to the nature of internet business, UIGEA is at best very difficult to enforce. The AGA was one of the chief supports of the act at first, but they are now finding that it has failed to help them in any significant way. Nevada’s Senator Reid has a good reason to keep the needs of the AGA as a top priority. Gambling, and the tourism that comes with it, is pretty much the entire basis for Nevada’s economy. Anything that hurts gambling hurts Nevada, so Reid was an initial supporter of the bill as well. Reid and the AGA have begun softening their positions recently though, since UIGEA hasn’t really done anything anyway. Despite the bill, Americans are gambling online anyway, and the AGA has realized that there is no getting around this. So, now some of the earliest supporters of UIGEA are now pushing for online poker to be legalized. Poker doesn’t make up a huge percentage of land based casino profits, so this concession wouldn’t really cost the casinos too much, if anything. This may soon lead to the law being repealed, and a time when Americans can once again play at www.jackpotcity.com/uk/.
