The battle against the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) has just begun and is becoming more and more powerful from day to day. New lobby organizations and others make attempts to influence the legislators on the issue all the time. The latest American poker fans’ ally in the struggle against the ban is Dino Rossi, candidate for governor. In his recent radio interview Rossi he has stated that he is in opposition to the disputable gambling ban.
Rossi explained why he opposes the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, by proving that the punishment for gambling poker doesn’t really match the crime. Nowadays if a person is caught playing poker at online casino he/she could be sentenced prison at up to ten years. This sort of a punishment puts playing online casino poker at the same level as the conviction for child pornography. Dino Rossi emphasized that he’d never have signed the online gambling bill; on the other hand, it was rather difficult for the radio interviewer to force Rossi to make to any active attempt to cancel the law.
Despite Rossi’s support in the struggle against the UIGEA, it isn’t enough for the organizations that are fighting it. Recently their hope that the UIGEA could be overturned was nourished by the run of Lee Rousso in the governor race. Rousso has a pending lawsuit in the court against the online casino gambling ban and he demonstrated an active interest to work in order to abolish the ban.
