“A hearing concerning a bill that would tax and regulate online gambling took place today for the benefit of the House Financial Services Committee. The Committee controls the fate of Rep. Barney Frank’s Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007, which was introduced in April.
The most compelling testimony in favor of legalizing online gambling didn’t come from the mouths of members of the online gambling industry, but from those who deal with problem gamblers everyday.
Both Andrew Poole, of Online Services for GamCare, a charitable organization that addresses the social impact of gambling, and Keith Whyte, Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling, pointed out how the proposed legislation would provide protection for both minors and problem gamblers.”
