Gambling and the Law
March 19, 2010
Results of the online gaming domain case presented to the Kentucky Supreme Court has yet to come to conclusion, as a statement from the court on March 18 only further delayed any outcome. The latest development will require the owners of the domain names to come forward, as the judges declared that those representing the domain owners, such as the Internet Media Entertainment & Gaming Association (iMEGA) and Poker Players Alliance (PPA) do not have standing to bring the case to its final stage unless the actual owners in question of having their domains frozen come to the fore.

The number of American states now investigating the options of online poker revenue has risen to four. California was the first, having debated the issue for two years and counting, and New Jersey legislators introduced an intrastate online poker bill in January. In the last weeks of February, Iowa decided to research the issue, and now Florida is in the mix as well, with a bill to legalize online poker and create revenue for the cash-strapped state.

This could be a very positive trend for the poker industry. Another state began official consideration of intrastate online poker, taking after California and New Jersey state legislatures. Iowa now joins that group, and should discussions progress at a rapid pace, it could be the first state to formally realize and take advantage of the millions of dollars in revenue available from the online poker business.Currently, the proposal is in the developmental stages, as a group of legislators from both sides of the aisle are joining efforts to research and flesh out the potential legislation.

This was a move that most in the poker industry didn’t see coming. As most continued to focus on the May 2009 bill introduced by Rep. Barney Frank as the best hope to repeal the UIGEA and legalize online gaming, another piece of legislation was in the works. And on February 23, it was Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Judd Gregg (R-NH) who jointly introduced the Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2010.The overall bill is a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the U.S.

This won’t be the first year that Greg Raymer and the Poker Players Alliance took their cause of legalizing online poker to CPAC, but more of an urgent effort is being put into this year’s event, as a booth will be set up for its entirety to seek support of legislation that must move forward in Congress before the June 1st UIGEA enforcement date. That is why the PPA and Greg Raymer will be ever-present at the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) from February 17 through 20.

The idea of intrastate online poker was introduced to the California legislature back in 2008, and the various forms of the bill since then have been tabled and put on the back burner until now. It was finally on February 9, 2010, that the State Senate hosted hearings on the subject, despite the fact that there is not even a current pending bill. And the hearing showed that there remains a stark divide between intrastate poker’s supporters and opponents.

For all of the skepticism in the poker community that online gaming legislation is a distant hope and not likely in 2010, the actions of major companies relay a different message. Online poker companies seem to have faith that the United States law will change, casinos like Harrah’s built a division around the idea, and organizations like the Poker Players Alliance base their reputation on it. Now an online payment processing company can be added to the list, as UC Group Ltd. established a U.S. subsidiary in anticipation of a regulated online gaming marketplace.
