While there have been rumblings and grumblings about the potential threat of some factions of American politicians trying to stand in the way of the bill that Congressman Barney Frank is supposed to propose in the coming weeks, others have said that these rumors are not true. One senator has come out and said that he has no doubt that the bill to help improve the legislation for online casinos in the United States will be supported by both republicans and democrats in congress. Everyone who has been pushing for change in the online casino and gambling laws that have been in place are hoping against hope for a tru bipartisan effort. Only time will tell if the bill will end up finding the support it needs.

What there is little doubt of is that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has done a horribly ineffective job of trying to curb activities at online casinos. Some people have predicted that Frank’s upcoming bill will just get relegated ot the back burner in no time at all since the government has so many huge issues to confront right now. Between the situations in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan plus the treacherous national economy, the Congress and the president have a lot on their collective plates.

But there is still room to hope that the issues involving casinos and gambling online will be addressed sometime in the near future. After all, there are substantial economic prospects in the successful and effective regulation and taxation of online casinos. There could be a lot of untapped revenue that could help bring the country back into financial balance if some of the profits from online gambling could get funneled through the proper channels.
