The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has been a topic of discussion for a long time since its introduction in 2006. Recently the US and the European Union made a deal on compensating for missed business opportunities for European online casino operators.

A stunning 97% of the respondents answered a frank 'yes' when they were asked whether or not it is time to regulate online gambling. The poll in the newspaper came together with an article on Jim Mcdermott, a Congressman who wants to legalize, regulate and tax online gambling.

Experts on this matter warn that the votes should not be interpreted as if the yes-voters support legalization, but rather that they agree with regulation, because online casinos in general are widely accepted as a business practice in the United States.
