Carter on Online CasinosEducation is the best tool any citizen can have on their side. It is the job of a citizen in a democracy to be educated. Ignorance is the primary weapon the government is using against online casinos. As far as most people are concerned online casinos are illegal in the United States thanks to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. That is simply not the case. The law only restricts major financial institutions from processing transactions from online casinos. Tracy Carter founded the usa-online-gambling.com website for the sole purpose of educating American gamblers of their rights online. “There is a long list of sites that have overcome the UIGEA regulations and an even longer list of supporters, which aim to get the act overturned,” said Carter. “The list of 30+ supporters of online gambling includes prominent politicians and entertainment companies such as Congressmen Barney Frank and Ron Paul, Harrah's Entertainment, The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association and the World Trade Organization.” Carter’s website offers all the information a gambler needs to know about the current legal status of online gambling in the United States. Not only will they find a quick overview of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and all of its legal implication, there is also link that allows players to read the law itself in its entirety. “The fact that the government has attempted to make online gambling illegal is more than just an infringement on the rights of casinos to offer a service with massive entertainment value, but it is an infringement of the rights of players who want to enjoy online gambling from the comfort of their home,” continued Carter. |
