Politics are heating up across the United States as
Americans head to the poles in November. People across the political spectrum
are looking for government to weigh in on specific issues, online gaming
legislation among them.
The Republican National Committee expressed its views on
online casino games at the Republican National Convention with a manifesto
document that makes clear that the party is not changing its tune. A portion of
the document, entitled, “Making the Internet Family Friendly,” says that there
are many Americans who are addicted to online casino games playing and it
continues to destroy families. Because of this, the Republican part opposes
online gaming.
Additionally, the manifesto calls for a reversal to the
Justice Department’s recent re-interpretation of the Wire Act, which gave
online casino games playing a legal entry. Specifically, the manifesto states
that casino games online are “distorting the formerly accepted meaning of the
Wire Act.”
The main frontrunner trying to push legalization forward, the
Poker Players Alliance, commented immediately on the manifesto by calling it a
step backwards in the process to finalize online casino games legislation.
Rich Muny, Vice President of Players Relations at the Poker
Players Alliance, commented on the contents of the manifesto and said that it
is not a reflection of the many supporters within the Republican party who want
to see the legalization and regulation of online casino games move ahead, nor
does it reflect the feelings of the general public.
