Online Casinos “the Bar Mitzvah of Internet Gambling”
While controversy surrounding anti-gambling legislation in the United States continues, some online casinos have gone on record to push for legitimacy and regulation. Citing the United Kingdom’s acceptance of online casinos as a major new industry, many are urging the U.S. to urgently readdress legislation. Peter Marcus of the world’s second largest casino is one operator calling for the legalization of online casinos on the basis of freedom of expression.
Referring to online gaming as the “bar mitzvah of internet gaming”, Marcus of casino site Inter Casino has scoffed at fears that online casinos promote gambling addiction and underage gambling. Marcus believes regulators could gain easy access to the records kept by online casinos, pointing out that tracking electronic money is far easier than tracking cash. Player registration is only possible by producing a driver’s license or passport and the behavior of gambling addicts at online casinos also stands out far more than at land-based casinos.
Marcus’s statements have been supported by Frank Fahrenkopf of the American Gaming Association (AGA) and MGM chief Terri Lanni. Their general consensus is that U.S. policy toward online casinos is misguided and will have to be readdressed following the United Kingdom’s legalization and regulation of online casinos. “It will send a very clear message to the U.S. that this is the way to go,” says Marcus.
